The DC Breeze (4-4-1) welcome the Toronto Rush (8-0) to the District for the first time this season. This contest will be the second meeting between the two AUDL East Division rivals in 2018.
Since the birth of the first Canadian expansion team in 2013, U.S. and Canadian teams have battled for supremacy on the AUDL field. The northern neighbors dominated the first few years of the international rivalry, but the U.S.-based teams have closed the gap, coming up just one game short in last year’s Cross Border Challenge.
The Division I and Division III College National Championships were held over the last weekends in May with many DC Breeze players participating in the festivities.
The Raleigh Flyers beat the Madison Radicals into an existential crisis nearly two weeks ago. Madison is one of the flagship franchises of the AUDL, and they’ve never before lost a game in such humiliating fashion or by such a wide margin.
Round three of any golf major is often called “Moving Day,” where the leaders try not to self-destruct and the challengers hope for a few magical shots to bring them back into the mix of top contenders. If you’re in the hunt by Saturday’s sunset, you have guaranteed yourself a chance in the final round, when it matters most.
