Nibbles flicked a ball a little too high for the Meteors, ending with a paltry 44 as their comeback effort appears stalled.

Hughbert faltered at 112, leaving the Defenders on a total of 1689 in the game and 2984 overall, far from safety still. Cobalt tried to make a push, but his 305 leaves the Wolves short at 1339 for the game, and 2575 in the series. Southridge gets by on less than their best in their first series of action.
Ebay Center, Queens: The attention shifts to Elite teams now, and both of these squads are without their sophomore sensations, as Violetta sits for the hosts and Celestia rests for the visitors.

Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The Arrows saw many players in pool yesterday, and they'll choose to rest Ruby, while a fully fresh Sharpshooters squad goes with their plan to give Chris the road game off. Missy did well with 454 for Capital City, a stable start for the heavily favored team that's taking it easy. Sally made a counterattack with 361 for Archtown, but the hosts still trail after the first turn. Sprinkles piled on with 543 for the Sharpshooters on the second attack, nicely padding their lead. Sleepy B. recovered some of the damage with 615 for the Arrows, trying to keep things interesting at the midway mark.

Leonette couldn't muster enough of a response with 176 for the Volcanoes, and while they won the game at 1505, the 2412 they had overall costs them the series on the points tiebreaker.
Henry Ford Memorial Stadium, Pronger: The Tridents remain shorthanded as they try to overcome a 45-point deficit against the Eagles, who will sit Blizzard in this critical round two finale.
