A first-ever matchup between the undefeated Atlanta Hustle and their league-best offense versus the reigning champion Minnesota Wind Chill and their vaunted defense.
In lieu of the typical "Tuesday" Toss, here’s a glimpse at seven things that made me say “Wow!” over the course of a wild nine-game Week 5 across the UFA. If you missed any of the action during the holiday weekend, this should catch you up and prepare you for the thrilling couple months ahead.
After an exhilarating double overtime win in Carolina the night before, the Growlers (4-1) flew south to Atlanta (5-0) for the UFA Game of the Week rematch on May 24. Just two weeks before, the Hustle came away with the SportCenter #2 Top Play in their unbelievable buzzer-beater victory in San Diego, so the Growlers were hungry for revenge.
The San Diego Growlers (4-1) traveled cross-country to face the Carolina Flyers (0-3) for a first ever matchup in the newly aligned UFA South Division. This pivotal game had potential playoff implications as a tie-breaker and a win would give each team confidence and momentum moving forward.
