Fans of the Albany Empire have reason to celebrate after the team wins its second consecutive National Arena League championship.
The Empire took an early lead against the Carolina Cobras at MVP Arena Saturday night and never looked back, winning by a final score of 47 to 20. Albany head coach Tom Menas says that the defense played a big role in securing the victory. Empire quarterback Sam Castronova also did his part, completing all but two of his passes and tossing six touchdowns.
