The Cleveland Fusion, of the National Women's Football Association, attracted increasingly large crowds to its games at Bedford High School over the past two seasons. To kick off its third year, the players wanted to show off their skills to both local sports fans and NFL hotshots, so the team arranged to play its home opener in Browns Stadium. Last season's squad finished second in the tough Great Lakes Division, which includes the league champs, Detroit Demolition (who went undefeated). Things look a little different this year, with a new coach and some fresh starters. The Fusion lost its season opener to the Columbus Comets three weeks ago. The Comets come to town for a rematch Saturday that kicks off at 2:30 p.m. at Cleveland Browns Stadium, 1085 West 3rd Street. Tickets are $10, $5 for kids. They are available by calling 440-816-1457. -- Matt Leavitt
