GAME NOTES
The Blaze held their opponents scoreless in the second and third quarters by controlling the possession and winning all 50/50 balls. With Bayhawks faceoff specialist Kenny Massa going down, The Bayhawks offense struggled to gain momentum- but was deadly nonetheless. The Blaze defense wants to keep the ball out of Lyle Thompson (13 goals and 3 assists) and The Bayhawks will be looking to solve the Blaze offense. It will be interesting how both teams gameplan for the transition game after having already faced each other.
