Elite takes its turn at the final week before the second United Cup break, beginning with...
Nike Field, Commerce: Solaris will rest for the Tradewinds in this week's opening game, while the visiting Cascades put Stripes on the sidelines. Jasmine lifted 569 for Freedom on the opening turn, giving them a positive start. Tigerette replied with 656 for Commerce before backhanding her wicket down, giving the hosts a narrow lead. Roxy managed 312 for the Cascades, covering the deficit a bit lightly. Taylor S. countered with 595 for the Tradewinds, restoring a stronger lead for them at the midway mark.

Commerce jumps to 16-10, while Freedom is 11-11, although they remain comfortably above the relegation line.
Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes begin a doubleheader with Cowzart taking the bench, and the Tridents will answer with Spot sitting out. Precious went off with 829 at the start for Pronger, establishing quite the lead for the visitors. Starlight cut about half of the deficit away with 426 for Pacific, trying to keep them in the game. Zach replied with 420 for the Tridents to maintain their lead effectively. Ms. Kitty made a gain with 625 for the Volcanoes, but they've still got some work to do in the second half of the game. Potter covered that damage with 629 for Pronger, keeping the hosts at bay pretty well. Twinkie I had only 160 for Pacific, a devastatingly low effort that may crush their comeback hopes. Lize tapped 339 for the Tridents at the end, ending their attack at 2217 in what should be a win. Leonette's rally with 425 fell short for the Volcanoes, leaving them at 1636 in the loss. Pronger rises to 16-7, while Pacific dips to 16-12.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: Closing out their doubleheader, the Volcanoes sit Twinkie I for performance, and Shiny will rest for the Prestige. Starlight slipped with a high hit at 227 for Pacific, giving them a poor start to the game. Acorn had just 96 for Lighton, putting them behind after the first turn. Ms. Kitty lacked pace for the Volcanoes, her 324 making a mild addition to their lead. Citrus kept the deficit steady with 309 for the Prestige, and it's still either team's game at this point. Leonette took a tumble with 162 for Pacific, leaving the door open for the hosts to walk through. Spirit was unable to pressure that mistake from the visitors, her 96 likely assuring Lighton of an embarrassing loss. Cowzart collected 764 for the Volcanoes, capping their offense at 1477. Nicole took only 291 for the Prestige, who officially lost with 792 in their worst game of the year. Pacific bounces back to 17-12, while Lighton sinks to 10-18.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills are without their captain Easter for this match, while Bianca takes this game off for the Defenders. Debby managed 345 from the lead-off position for Southridge, a decent but unimpressive start for the visitors. Todavía countered with 824 from Ruby on their opening turn, establishing quite the large lead. Stephanie fired back with 906 for the Defenders, showing a bit of bite to get them ahead again. Sierra's 405 wasn't enough for the Stills to cover the deficit, but it keeps things close at the halfway point. Wario muscled up for 624 for Southridge, padding their lead with the strong outing. Bells couldn't keep up with 429 for Todavía, causing the hosts to slip noticeably behind with a player each to go. Caitlin made a quick exit with just 150 for the Defenders, leaving them vulnerable at 2025 overall. Prism closed with 345 for the Stills, capping their offense at 2003, coming up narrowly short.
