The Tuesday Toss: Flyers Prevail on Epic Buzzer Beater To Claim Top Spot In South
May 23, 2017 — By Evan Lepler
With less than 20 seconds remaining in regulation, overtime felt inevitable.
A traveling violation had pushed Raleigh in the wrong direction, and when Dave Snoke caught Jonathan Nethercutt’s reset with 18 seconds left, 70 yards separated him from the end zone the Flyers sought.
Jonathan Nethercutt (#7) threw an AUDL season-high 14 assists against the Dallas Roughnecks on 50 completions with 1 goal and 1 throwaway in 31 points played. The 32-25 Raleigh Flyers win moved them into first place in the South Division.
