No team eliminated from Top Division playoffs, as standings remain close.

The high caliber play continued in week 3 of Fall Ball, with some surprises on the field.

GAME 1-The Winless Team 1 Outlaws started off the surprises, taking on an undefeated Team 2 Bayhawks.  Although the Outlaws came up a bit short, it was the best game they have played so far.  Powered by 2g each by Michael Cerone and Chris Schumacher, this game went back and forth and was close from start to finish.  But Jonny Glaziers 2nd goal (a nice behind-the-back effort cutting in front of the cage) finished the scoring with the Bayhawks victorious by a score of 7-6

GAME 2-Team 4 Lizards dominated this one from start to finish.  Despite 12 saves by Team 3 Cannons goalie Gavin Risbry, the offensive pressure was just too much.  6 different scorers contributed, and Austin Miller had another Hat Trick as the Lizards were on the good side of a 10-0 final score.  

GAME 3-Another surprise in this game, previously winless Team 6 Hounds faced off against previously undefeated Team 5 Rattlers.  The Rattlers jumped out to a 4-2 lead at halftime.  But consistent Faceoff wins from Sam Isola, and 4 unanswered goals to close it out helped the Hounds get their first W.  Two second half goals from Ben Hastings (to complete a hat trick of his own) contributed to the victory as this one ended 7-5 in favor of the Hounds.

GAME 4-Last surprise came in the final game of the day.  Previously undefeated Team 8 Machine struggled to find their usual offense.  Despite 2 goals from Jack Forsman, and a goal from D-Pole Garrett Chitwood, the Machine couldnt get much more going on O.  A pair of goals from Anatole Colevas, and a couple more from Alex Lopez fueled the Team 7 Nationals in this one and the Nationals walked away with the win by a 6-4 final score. 

No team mathematically out of this one, with 3 more weeks to go in the seedings round.  Looking forward to some more great Lax in week 4!
