The NSFC battle for the Glacies Trophy was a close knit affair, with teams trading blows like they were Mayweather and McGregor. The matchup ended with just a 2 point differential, and the Baltimore Hawks beating the Wraiths 16-14 despite a valiant comeback attempt by the Wraiths in the fourth quarter. When looking at the stat sheet, the players at one position jump out as having had a direct effect on their respective team’s outcomes. Chris Orosz of the Wraiths had a poor effort in the game. He threw 12 for 25, which is a completion percentage of only 48%, less than half. Scrub Kyubee of the Hawks on the other hand threw 34 for 51, which is a completion percentage of 67%, and exactly two out of every three passes. This shows, as Kyubee was able to collect 336 yards, in comparison to Orosz’s measly 113 yards. It seems that the completion percentage was really the driving factor in the decision of theme. Both quarterbacks had similar averages per pass, with only a difference of .5 yards between them (9.4 for Orosz and 9.9 for Kyubee). They also both had a touchdown and an interception. So it seems that when Orosz was able to complete a pass, he was playing just as well as Kyubee, but unfortunately for him (and the Wraiths), he completed 19% less passes, which very possibly cost his team the victory.

The ASFC matchup for the Solis Trophy between the Arizona Outlaws and the Orange County Otters was a close one, with the Outlaws able to scrape by and claim the berth in the championship, and the chance for their second straight Ultimus. In the ASFC championship, one player’s performance stood out above all else from either team. Franklin Harris, linebacker, had a night to remember. He finished the game with 11 tackles, 3 more than any player on his own team, and a whopping 6 more than the Outlaws team leader in that category, linebacker Jaylon Lee. Franklin Harris also had two sacks on the night, compared with Jaylon Lee’s one. With a performance like Harris’, it’s hard to believe that he couldn’t guide his team to victory in this nail biter. Statistically, his performance (and others on his team) completely outclassed even the best on the Outlaws. However it seems that one thing, and one thing alone made the thread unravel for the Otters, penalties. While neither Harris nor Lee scored a penalty, 8 players on the Otters did, for 9 total penalties resulting in 75 free yards. It seems that no matter what kind of a performance Franklin Harris gave, it wouldn’t be enough because of that. For Jaylon Lee, it shows that even an off night can still garner the win if your team plays clean and doesn’t give up free yards.
