Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The Blades look to extend their league lead while hosting the hapless Monarchs.

Snowball was hoping for a bit more time on her turn, but she churned out a quick 450 to keep Swordpoint within striking range. Hoppy used a backhand to keep her turn alive, but it shattered her pace and she closed on 302 for the Monarchs. Dreamy went deep for the Blades on her turn, blasting 1001 to give them the midway lead. Pounce covered the deficit for Southern, lining 755 on his turn to do so. Bandit countered with 329 for Swordpoint on a replay after a very close call went his way for a technical error. Shannon made good contact on her turn, ending at 481 to give the Monarchs 2137 overall, forcing a response from the hosts.

Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Nighthawks make their fifth stop in a ten-game road trip, visiting the rising Boston Swifts. Peach made a very good backhand hit early in her turn, but couldn't quite keep a ball down on a bounce, stalling at 159 for North Modernistic. Patches didn't take many risks for Boston, playing a patient game as she gathered 424 to start things off. Luigi was cruising pretty well for the Nighthawks until a low ball caught him on a swing-and-miss to end his turn at 530. Puff II tried a backhand flick on her turn, but it went straight out of bounds, giving her a meager 50 as the Swifts now trail. Cheddar could have capitalized with a bit more offense, but her 340 extends the North Modernistic lead a little bit anyway. Gradley made up for his mistakes last game, rallying for 707 here to regain the lead for Boston. Bright had bad placement for the Nighthawks, ending at 106 as they take the loss with 1135.

Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents try to bounce back from a recent setback, while the Monarchs look to build off their upset to start this week. Panda didn't quite have it easy this time, getting taken out at 341 for Southern in a decent start. Precious did a wonderful job of giving Pronger a large lead early on, crushing 1002 on the opening turn. Hoppy showed no fear for the Monarchs, slapping back with 641 to keep them within range despite not covering the deficit. Zach fell into the trap for the Tridents, getting a hitch in his swing that stopped him at a paltry 48. Pounce jumped right in for Southern, scattering a good 489 to cover the deficit this time. Spot got a bit of a bailout with his missed backhand leading to a technical error, but his mild 225 on the replay left Pronger behind with a player each to go. Shannon kept the pressure high with 503 for the Monarchs, setting them at a final of 1974. Potter had a good rally for the Tridents, but 529 left them short at 1804 in the loss. Southern has toppled two playoff teams to get to 12-21, while Pronger dips once again to 17-15.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige start their second half just as the Wolves, rested in three of the last four weeks, finally reach their midseason point. Juno bounced her way to 475 for Stonebridge to lead things off in relatively good form. Acorn made a backhand look easy to extend his turn for Lighton, batting 520 when it was over. Frosty looked to develop a pace like she had when she broke 2000, but instead faltered at 274 as the Wolves regain a weaker lead. Spirit wasted the opportunity with only 168 for the Prestige, putting them behind at the halfway mark of the game. Cobalt answered well for Stonebridge, batting 504 to pad the lead a bit more. Twinkie I didn't trust her swing enough for Lighton, ending on a pathetic 90 when she made a jittery motion too close to a ball. Prism misplayed a bounce, accounting for her quick end at 387, which brings the Wolves to 1640 overall. Salmo had a pitiful 64 for the Prestige, taking the loss on a total of just 842. Stonebridge enters midseason at 15-20, just a half-game back of the 16-20 Lighton team.
UPS Hall, Maplewood: The Lumberjacks continue to try to break their home curse, while the Rockers hope that they can extend their hosts' pain one more game. Misty hopes she broke her road slump with 543 for Westside this time out, establishing a good base for the visitors. Fluffina answered pretty well for Maplewood with 424, but they are just a bit behind initially. Goatee drilled 654 for the Rockers on her turn, doing a good job to supplement the lead heavily. Diddley fought back with pace, but couldn't catch up with 488 for the Lumberjacks, losing a bit of ground at the halfway mark.

Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Prestige are set to host the Pilots, who come off of a bye week into their midseason in the third of a five-game road trip. Valencia brought a high-pace attack for Golden, looking and feeling fresh as she smacked 679 at the start of the game. Acorn couldn't settle his swing down, falling with 96 as he tried too hard to recover some of the deficit for Lighton. Dusty countered quite well for the Pilots, adding another 640 to their lead in a dominant start to the game. Spirit was unable to gather as much as she needed, with 352 for the Prestige, who remain far behind. Strut provided a point of weakness to the Golden lead when he hit only 117 in a poor turn from the veteran. Twinkie I didn't get enough back to make any significant difference for Lighton, only a modest 249. A. Charlton batted 554 in a good turn for the Pilots, bringing their overall score to 1990 in what should be a win. Salmo brought the Prestige a bit closer with 343, but they took the loss on 1040. Golden hits midseason on a positive note at 24-11, while Lighton is starting to regress after a surge, backing down to 16-21.
Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds welcome the Prestige, who finish a doubleheader, while the hosts hit midseason in the second of a five-game home stand. Acorn hammered 619 at the start for Lighton, setting them up for a good game. Tigerette tried to attack with pace for Commerce, but couldn't keep control, bailing at 195. Spirit put a bit too much lift on her final swing, going out of bounds at 98 for the Prestige in a poor turn from the usually reliable veteran. Ice Cream got split on a cluttered pitch, blocking a low ball but missing a high ball to end with 329 for the Tradewinds. Twinkie I outright left Lighton vulnerable with her pathetic 69 points, making the game get close. Lionel capitalized in a big way with 642 for Commerce, giving them a significant lead late in the game. Salmo forced a response from the hosts by hitting 425, setting the Prestige at 1211. Lorde didn't need to do much, lifting 400 for the Tradewinds to win comfortably with their final at 1566. Commerce enters midseason at 14-21, while Lighton drops again to 16-22. Prestige captain Acorn is seen fuming at his teammates after losing three times in rapid succession.

Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds begin a five-game home stand just as the Knights set out on a four-game road trip. Kiwi produced well for Terrace City at the start with 528, giving her side a strong base to build upon. Princess played just a bit harder for Tysini, pulling in 659 to put her team in front initially. Jennifer covered the deficit well for the Knights, paddling 544 to keep things competitive. Leandra matched the boost in intensity very easily for the Hummingbirds, batting 679 to keep the hosts in front as the game reaches half-completion.

Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Swifts begin a three-game home stand with a tough foe, the league-leading Blades, in a big game for both teams. Snowball's road struggles are persistent, as she leads this game off with a meager 98 for Swordpoint. Patches tried to play cautious and patient, but ended at 269 after an unlucky deflection took out the Boston captain. Dreamy had a great pace at first, but a high swing brought her down at 240 for the Blades, barely enough to cover the deficit.

Tigerette fired back with 336 for Commerce, a bit weaker than usual from the feisty captain. Goatee didn't add that much for the Rockers, losing her controlled pace at 276 with an errant swing. Ice Cream took advantage of the misstep, hammering out 790 for the Tradewinds to give them the lead at the halfway mark.
