OKLAHOMA CITY -- With each team suffering a loss last week, Bossier Shreveport and Oklahoma City each look to put the past in the rearview mirror.

The BattleWings (2-2) led in most offensive categories against the Utah Blaze, but ultimately lost 65-46.

Oklahoma City (1-3) has had its own struggles, but looks for its first division win on Saturday night against the Battlewings.

"This is a huge conference game and a chance to put ourselves in the thick of the race in the early half of the season," said head coach Sparky McEwen. "We understand that winning at home is a major priority and will put forth our best effort to date. After the Dallas game, we truly felt that we need to raise the talent level of our ball club in order to compete at the highest level. Changes will be made."

Kickoff is set for 7:05 p.m. at the Cox Convention Center.
