In the most competitive game of the day the Baltimore Crabs found themselves well matched with Team Arizona. Baltimore led most of the way, but Arizona fought hard and kept it close the whole time. Both teams benefited from solid goaltending, but Arizona had trouble limiting Baltimore's talented offense. Baltimore pulled out the victory 9-7 on the strength of their talented attack duo of Reed and Hessler. They combined for nine points in the game, and sixteen points on the day. With the Crabs morning victory over Midwest Elite 14-1, Baltimore again find themselves in the Division I bracket. The Crabs draw the 3:00pm game against Team Idaho, who will be making their first Division I appearance.

Delaware won both their games today, and displayed a powerful offense along the way. In their first game Delaware defeated Team Indiana 14-6 on the back of an eight point performance by Kyle Wharton (7g,1a). In their second game against Idaho, Delaware trailed 0-1 early but came back to dominate the game en route to a 15-4 victory. Delaware will be playing Arizona at 1:00pm in what should prove to be one of the most competitive games during the first day of Divisional play.

The perennially solid team from Ohio was in fine form today as they limited their opponents to three goals total in their two games. Team Ohio beat both Sacramento Elite and Triad Lacrosse Club by scores of 16-2 and 9-1, respectively. Ohio will face the Winnipeg Wolverines at 9:00am in the first game of the day for Division I.

Team Colorado was also dominant during pool play winning both their first round games by comfortable margins. Colorado showed plenty of offensive firepower finishing with 33 goals, more than any other team during the first day. Controlling both games Colorado downed Winnipeg in their first game 16-6 and in their second game beat FLC 17-1. Rounding out the Division I bracket Colorado will play Triad Lacrosse Club at 11:00am.
