Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Meteors are back in action at home, hosting the Sharpshooters in their second of a four-game road trip.

Puff III covered the deficit with 320 for the Eagles, but a lifted ball ended her turn earlier than she liked. Goatee got knocked back at 102 for the Rockers, putting them behind halfway through the low-scoring game.

Juno had a bit of a crash landing, playing well at first but ending with only 279 for Stonebridge in a quick exit. Goatee failed to establish any control on her turn, falling at just 40 for the Rockers. Frosty made minor progress with 305 for the Wolves, cutting into the deficit a bit at the midway mark.
