They began play in the SIFL's inaugural 2009 season and lost their first five games, all but one by double digits. Despite a poor 1–7 start and numerous off-the-field distractions, the Conquerors finished with two wins in their last three games, earning the team a spot in the SIFL playoffs. In January 2010, the team announced they would suspend play for the 2010 season, but potentially return for the 2011 season.[2]
