It was another of the painful first-round exits that have been all too common for the franchise this decade.
Despite having a deeper, more talented roster than before, this season Milwaukee allowed Iowa to take control of things and could never regain momentum. The Admirals turned things around with back-to-back wins against Grand Rapids and Laval to close out the week.
