In this tense defensive battle the testosterone was dripping off the pitch as the teams exchanged blows Buckley and Saunders scoring for the Hazard, Bell knocking in one pointers for the Choppers. Great passing from Choppers didn’t translate into scores and the third quarter ended with the Choppers leading 6-5 in what could be anyone’s game.

4^th Quarter

Bell scored his fifth of the game to make it 8-7, with 30 seconds left on the clock. With 12 seconds to go at 8-7, Mandy Saunders hit a shot, but neglected to pass it in to another player before throwing it in, handing possession back to the Choppers. Rather than run out the clock they shot and missed handing possession back to the Hazard. The ball was fed back to Saunders who redeemed herself with a last second shot to seal the first ever Volfsball draw and keep the Hazard undefeated.

Final Score 8-8
