Play resumed after Memorial Day. The early game featured two strong squads: Orange vs Purple Rain. The game ran very long, as the teams looked very evenly matched. As hard cap time was reached, the score was tied at 14-14. Play was extended for U-point, and what a point. Both teams had three chances to score, as defenders got turn after turn. Big hucks were knocked away. Swing passes were intercepted. At long last, Purple Rain scored the point and won the game. With the loss, Orange is still winless, in spite of having a strong and well balanced team. Purple Rain's lone loss so far is to Black Pepper.

The prime time game got off to a late start following the epic ending of the early game. Black Pepper took an early lead and never looked back. Best Fronds made some nice plays, including a Callahan (!!!) and the final score of the game, hard cap, but Black Pepper got the win 12-5, and remains unbeaten.

In the late game, Blue did not have any DoWs and played only six DoMs in the game, but got the win over Sky Bison 15-7. The game prompted a long discussion in the captain's chat about DoM attendance and called for ideas that can help the league be more inclusive. If you have ideas, please reach out to your team captains or the league commissioner.
