Daily Summary

The Moonshiners eliminated the Pride from the playoffs in a close game 6 tonight. Pride fans left disappointed, the loss being all the more painful because of how the game played out. Early in the third quarter, star Pride player Valencia Zeraus (Lioness, G) sacrificed her body to follow through on a shot at the net. The Queen landed her basket, but at a high price as she landed awkwardly on her elbow, taking her out of play for the rest of the match. Lance Freewell (Clouded Leopard, C) led the Pride for the rest of the game, and forced the Moonshiners to fight for every point. In the end, though, the Moonshiners managed to pull in a narrow 4 point victory. The Moonshiners will face the Baltimore Spirits in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

In what has been one of the most exciting and surprising series of the playoffs thus far, the Spokane Rapids defeated the Winnipeg Voyageurs tonight, forcing a seventh game. The two teams were neck and neck for the entire game, and it seemed as though the Rapids were playing with new life and energy. No doubt, after the injury of Dirk Von Stryker (German Giant Rabbit, C) during Saturday night's game, Spokane felt renewed hope. The Voyageurs' Zoie Wilds (African Hunting Dog, G) managed to hold her team together for most of the game, but late in the final quarter, Doug Dramson (Wolverine, F)'s nerves got the better of him. The big wolverine fouled out, and without him Winnipeg's defence fell apart, leading to a 9 point victory for the Rapids.
