Premier makes a delayed start to Week 14, nestling in on the 26th and 27th of February before a break ahead of the United Cup second round. We begin with...
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: Week 14 opens with the Pilots on a doubleheader, resting Strut in the road game, while the host Knights sit Melissa this time out.

Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes sit their captain Starlight as they hope to end a five-game home stand in style, while Shaggy is on the bench for the visiting Shores. Bear put up 424 for Whitewater on the opening turn, a good outing from the beleaguered captain. Ms. Kitty couldn't even get going for Pacific, falling with a measly 16 on an ugly first turn for the hosts. Twinkie III slugged 1437 for the Shores on their second attack, the massive performance solidifying their lead. Twinkie I pulled in 401 for the Volcanoes, but they remain far behind halfway through the game. Marsell covered that damage with 457 for Whitewater, maintaining their lead well. Leonette bounced back with 596 for Pacific, but they'll be hard-pressed to catch up. Katharine produced a good 408 to finish the Shores offense at 2726. Chicky Phil fell at 385 for the Volcanoes, leaving them short at 1398. Whitewater is up to 13-14, while Pacific drops to 10-17.

Dusty got knocked back at 240 for the Pilots, a deflection causing the mediocre output.

Charlton failed to secure the effort with 246 for the Pilots, leaving them at a total of 1948. Fuchsia had 358 for the Predators, coming close but ultimately falling short at 1923 overall. Golden got a bit lucky to reach 21-11, while Midland slides to 12-14.
HP Field, Midland: The Predators' middle game of the tripleheader sees them sit Fuchsia, while the Stills rest their superstar Sierra after a recent pool appearance. Easter took a quick and pacey approach for Todavía, striking 640 in lead off for a nice first crack at the lead. Shawn couldn't muster much for Midland with 227, a weak start seeing them trailing from the first turn. Bells had a shaky 272 for the Stills, covering the damage done previously to their lead and not much more. Rainmane failed to corral a spinning ball, sending it behind her wicket and out of play to score only 84 points for the Predators. Prism had only 195 for Todavía as offense seems to have abandoned these teams for now. Leonardo flicked his fourth swing out of play at 64 for Midland, wasting another chance to help the hosts catch up. Anton tapped 311 to pad the Stills' offense to a final score of 1418. Americus fell with 238 for the Predators, leaving them at a terrible 613 in the loss. Todavía gets a critical win to rise to 14-17, rising past the 12-15 Midland squad.
HP Field, Midland: The Predators finish the tripleheader with Americus on the bench, while the Pilots sit Dusty this time, confident they won't need her help. Valencia couldn't stay on target for Golden, falling at 113 in her fourth appearance today. Shawn gained a small lead with 176 for Midland this time, still lacking in offense as well as beginning to feel fatigued. Strut broke the scoring slump with 599 for the Pilots on the second attack for a solid lead. Rainmane bounced back from a tough outing favorable, smashing 886 here to keep the Predators ahead. Sparkles countered with 513 for Golden, not allowing the visitors to get too far behind. Leonardo covered that damage with 584 for Midland this time, retaining their lead heading into the final players' turns. A. Charlton fell with only 51 for the Pilots, confirming their loss at 1276. Fuchsia tacked on 434 for the Predators, capping their win at 2080. Midland gets a little revenge to rise to 13-15, while Golden slips to 21-12 with the loss.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: Play resumes with the Blades captain Snowball sitting this one out, while the visiting Knights have Melissa resting for a second straight game.

Swordpoint just has Terrace City's number so far, with the former rising to 17-15 while the latter drops to 11-15.
BMW RockDome, Westside: The Rockers need to get a jump, and they'll sit Goatee when they host the shorthanded Tridents, who believe Lize is likely three weeks away from returning. Precious got beat on a deflection at 153 for Pronger, putting them in a weak position immediately. Misty took her time to build up 740 for Westside, allowing a lower pace in exchange for a longer turn. Zach crumbled at 186 for the Tridents, unable to even get near the deficit on a weak second attack. Slinks answered with a nice 608 for the Rockers, boosting their lead greatly at the halfway mark. Spot had a good pace for Pronger, but he hit a ball too high and fell with 373, hardly denting the deficit. Midnight had only 312 for Westside, allowing their lead to shrink a tiny amount. Potter made a couple of fantastic plays on his backhand for the Tridents, finishing with 523 to give them a losing total of 1235 as their losing streak hits nine games.

BMW RockDome, Westside: Midnight will be on the bench for the Rockers this time, as they try to save the star for United Cup play, while the Volcanoes bench Ms. Kitty for this game.

Misty had three false starts before churning out a pacey 845 for Westside to give them a big lead. Twinkie I countered with 424 for the Volcanoes, managing to lightly cover the deficit. Goatee had a technical error that she decided to replay for, ending at 144 as the Rockers lead weakens midway through the game. Leonette covered the deficit again with 361 for Pacific, but they wanted a bit more than that. Slinks shot back with 448 for Westside this time, regaining the lead as the close game heads into the final players' turns. Chicky Phil tried to get fancy with the bat and fell with 199 for the Volcanoes, leaving them at 1450 as his former team will need only a small response to win. Cowzart provided plenty of offense with 615 for the Rockers, capping their win at 2052. Westside gets up to 14-16, while Pacific's eight-game losing streak sinks them down to 10-18.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: The fast-rising Blades get a fairly easy matchup against the shorthanded Tridents. The hosts will sit Dreamy in the second of a six-game home stand. Precious had only 272 for Pronger at the start, the fatigue of the season and their current road trip wearing on the captain. Snowball pulled out of her first try for a false start, but hit only 176 for Swordpoint on the second attempt. Zach replied with 389 for the Tridents, giving their lead a nice boost in the process.

Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Generations Derby sees us into the United Cup break, with Wings sitting for the visiting Warriors while Puff II gets this one off for the hosting Swifts. Twilight got the rivalry match started right with 603 for Central on the opening turn, unafraid of the Goliath-like hosts. Patches shot back with a strong 566 for Boston, keeping things close initially. Dustin had a false start and a technical error before slotting 448 for the Warriors, weakening their lead a bit.
