Salisbury and Baltimore will also hook up on Saturday, in what is the next to last weekend of the regular season. A total of six teams will make the post-season.  The league will open with two playoff games on April 17 in Des Moines, with those two winners advancing the league semifinals on April 18 in Omaha. The No. 1 and No 2 seeded playoff teams will get a first-round bye. Sunday, April 19, the championship game will also be held at Baxter Arena in Omaha.
