Web Site Attack

The New York Sharks would like to apologize to visitors of our website. For the past week or so, a virus had attacked our web host server causing all sorts of havoc to our site. We have been assured that the site has been cleared but because of the length of time to clear the problem, the site has been blacklisted by Google. We are in the process of clearing our name with Google but this may take weeks. Another downside to all of this is that Twitter has suspended our account with them. If you wish to keep up to date with the Sharks game this weekend via Twitter, please suscribe to the IWFL Twitter account.


Sharks Lose in OT

The New York Sharks (4-4) were able to extend their season for one quarter more before they fell to the Pittsburgh Passion (7-1) in overtime by the score of 34-33. New York scored first in overtime when quarterback Karen Mulligan with 3 Pittsburgh defenders on her was able to hit Chante Bonds for a 25-yard touchdown. But the Sharks missed the extra point and that was the difference when the Passion scored on their possesion and was able to kick the extra point for the victory.
