Stealth drilled another 752 for the Blades, bolstering their lead significantly with the standout effort.

Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents switch to gray jerseys but keep the lineup the same versus the Pilots, who rest A. Charlton in the second game of their pair on the road to start the year.

Precious looked every bit as confident as before, slicing 788 to give Pronger a nice lead. Dusty returned closer to her MVP form with 782 for the Pilots this time, covering the deficit. Zach quickly got beat with a fast offering, mowing him down at 157 for the Tridents, who trail now. Strut smacked another 926 for Golden in an excellent outing to pad their lead greatly.
