Stats of the Week
Despite sitting at sixth in the division, Savannah still has a meaningful role in the lead-up to the South Division playoffs. There is only a ten-point difference between the first-place team (Greenville) and the fifth-place team (Orlando). Savannah will have the chance to significantly impact who advances to the playoffs with their remaining schedule of games against divisional opponents.
Valleau's overtime winner on January 25 was Savannah's first overtime goal at Enmarket Arena in franchise history.
