Wow what a week in the Elite 2029 Division! Once again love the parity in the division as every week matters. Also, love when the scheduling works out so you get a glimpse of all 8 teams playing at the same time @ Blandair.
Recap..............
LTLC over Madlax (7-6) - Madlax seemed to play sloppy all first half, but then looked to take control ending the 3rd quarter up 5-3. But LTLC kept battling, had a couple of questionable referee calls go their way, and came back with authority to get the victory. LTLC played well, but Madlax seemed all out of sorts. Today was not the normally disciplined Madlax team performance that we normally see. Madlax parents were hysterical of course. Does LTLC have enough for a playoff pushing now winning 3 in a row? 2 big games left for them vs. True and Next Level.
Hawks over FCA (5-4) - Another incredible game. Back and forth battle with Hawks holding the slight edge throughout. Hawks midfield is so smart and aggressive when needed in between the lines. FCA had several opportunities to score in the last 3 minutes, two great looks on man-up, but couldn't hammer one home to tie it up. Hawks shut down FCA's midfield, but FCA's attack shined. FCA shut down Hawks attack, and Hawks midfield shined. Another great lacrosse game. Hawks is proving to be the team to beat. Ready to lock up the #1 see for playoffs.........and also guessing a new National #1 ranking. FCA is solid though with two 1 goal losses now on the season.
True over VLC (11-4) - Another good victory for a solid True team. First half was close, but True turned it on in the second half. True sets up a big game next week vs. LTLC which both need to win for the playoff hunt.
Next Level over 91 MD (20-4) - Feel bad for the 91 MD crew each week.....Millon had to put them in Elite right? Next Level looks good though and ready to battle as one of the top teams in the division.
Playoff Outlook: #1 seed - Hawks #2 seed - NL
#3 - #4 (Comes down to Madlax, True, LTLC, and FCA).....several big games over the next two weeks. Should be exciting to watch!
