After a weak first season with only 4 wins out of 16 games, they reached the IFL playoffs in the second year of 2016 with 11 wins and 5 losses. In the first round they finally lost to the Cedar Rapids Titans with 36:66.
Although the 2017 season ended with 12 wins and 4 losses, the playoffs were narrowly missed.
