Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts started another series really well and look to take care of business at home again. Princess got off to a rocky start with two false starts and a 67% penalty, resulting in a measly 19 points to give Tysini. Patches came up bust again for Boston with only 69 points to produce a small lead. Leandra had to pull up at 248 after a technical error, giving the Hummingbirds a better second effort. Puff II clobbered 656 to get the Swifts into the lead at the halfway mark in good form. Charli couldn't cover the deficit with 250 for Tysini, and they're in a bit of trouble now. Gradley pummeled another 687 for Boston, giving them a lead unlikely to be topped. Bright had only 264 for the Hummingbirds, and again their dynamic offense was stifled into a loss with 781. Sweetheart butchered her turn with a pathetic 8 for the Swifts, but they won with 1420. Boston leads the series 2-0 as they cross the highway west for the two road games.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades prevailed over a road-warrior Cascades side in the first game. Jasmine has struggled to escape mediocrity, hitting only 233 for Freedom here. Snowball improved slightly from last game, pounding 713 to give Swordpoint a sizable lead early on. Stinky stumbled with 103 for the Cascades, as game 2 is mirroring game 1 quite a bit so far. Dreamy didn't keep up with her previous pace, ending at 239 as the Blades retain a good lead at the halfway point. Roxy carved into the deficit quite a bit, swatting a solid 439 for Freedom to key the comeback effort. Shawn kept Swordpoint in the lead with 239, but their pace has dropped and they might be vulnerable. Nikolai stepped up with 512 for the Cascades, giving them a total of 1287. Stealth collapsed with 24 for the Blades, and they took the loss with 1215. Freedom's shocking win ties the series at 1, and they'll be heading home, where they went without a win against the Knights in the last round.
Chevrolet Field, Everton: The Volcanoes stunned the Eagles last game, beating the dominant home team. Starlight collected 319 for Pacific in a decent appearance, better than the previous showing. Goldy was called for a false start and took a 50% penalty, accumulating only 69 for Everton at the start. Ms. Kitty didn't pull away for the Volcanoes, having only 160 to add to their offense. Puff III also committed a false start, and the Eagles star had only 62 points as the hosts fall farther behind in a messy game. Jack broke out for 472 for Pacific, extending their lead very nicely. Cleo had a meager 90 as Everton looks to be in deep trouble at this point in the game and series. Leonette didn't do well, taking just 33 for the Volcanoes, giving them a final of 984, which should hold up. Blizzard collapsed with 49 for the Eagles, and they lost with 270 in one of the worst playoff performances ever. The Volcanoes head home with a 2-0 series lead over the regular season champions.
Nike Field, Commerce: The Prestige stunned the Tradewinds, and the shaky hosts will have a chip on their shoulder here. Acorn did reasonably well in scoring 371 for Lighton to lead things off. Tigerette answered with 497 for Commerce to give them the initial lead in a critical game. Spirit shot back with a big 518 for the Prestige, making this game very high-pace. Ice Cream couldn't catch up with 296 for the Tradewinds, and they trail at the halfway mark. Twinkie I slipped a bit with a mediocre 240 for Lighton, but they still lead for now. Lionel cranked out 465 for Commerce to put them ahead with a player each to go. Lydia hooked her last hit high, giving the Prestige only 108 to put them in a loss with 1237. Lorde took two penalties and ended at 16, making the Tradewinds win look very narrow at 1274. Commerce has tied the series at 1 before heading south for the next two games in Lighton.
A couple of sweep chances are still intact, while two other series are deadlocked. We'll see what's next as the venues shift for games 3 and 4 over the next couple of days.
