The 7:15 game featured Blue Wave and Big Disc Energy going head to head. Blue Wave started off hot with some quick scores and tight defense from their savage line. BDE had two great layout catches from Ava and later from Barry that were highlight reel worthy. The game had a bit of a deficit going into the second half but BDE fought back and tightened things up. Final score 13-10 with Blue Wave securing the #2 seed and bye for the first round of the playoffs. BDE is the #5 seed.

Lotus fought back and took half on serve 8-7. Area 51 held after a long point to start the second half, and built a 13-11 lead. The teams agreed to play to 15 with no hard cap. Lotus came back again, taking the game to universe point. Dean tossed a laser to the back of Nova's head, and Nova turned around just in time to make the catch for the hold and the 15-14 win for Area 51. DoW from both teams had great nights. Breezy, Sammy and Shelly all played great for the aliens, scoring multiple points and Shelly threw a honey point to Dean.
