This was the second-highest number of points scored by one team in indoor football history. The Horsemen forced seven interceptions and five fumbles and cruised to a 68-6 halftime lead and never looked back. The team would also win their first Championship, winning several close games over Atlantic City, Houma, Ohio Valley, and finally, defeating Sioux Falls, 59-38 for the Indoor Bowl title. The Horsemen franchise has the best road winning record in NIFL history. Following their Championship season, the Lexington jumped ship and joined the UIF.
