The field was dry, but Purple Rain fell on the Sky Bisons, winning the game 15-10. Marisa had an amazing game for the Sky Bison, scoring over half her team's points and throwing an assist. "Yip Yip!" With the win, Purple Rain is only one game out of first place at 3-1.

The prime time game was a match between the league's two unbeaten teams, Blue and Black Pepper. Both teams responded weakly to the opportunity, with Black Pepper starting savage and Blue having only one sub. After an injury to Peri, Simon arrived so Pepper remained at seven players. The first half was close, and Blue led 8-6. Pepper's lack of subs caught up with them in the second half, and Blue won the game 15-7. After the win, Blue announced their team name is Ice Ice Babies.

The late game was a match between the league's two winless teams, but they both have strong rosters and they've been in close games. Lily and Cass were finding each other a lot for Green, and overall there were a ton of plays where folks prioritized safety over snatching the disc, OC, Jasper, and Zach Wolin , especially. Sammy also had a SICK grab for orange where she dragged a toe in the grassy end zone for a score! Who won? In a show of sportsmanship, the teams were tied 11-11 at 10PM, and the captains agreed to hard cap the game as a tie.

The captains continue to chat about inclusion, DoW attendance, and safe play. Please be mindful and respectful of others on and off the field.
