Krissy Lee and Dena Caralis are both out of town, while Kellie Mitchell will miss her second straight game. Team Victory is hoping Rachel Lee, who played on The Homewreckers co-rec squad last year, can fill in so Team Victory can go in with five girls. If not, Team Victory may have to go with four girls, and thus only eight fielders compared to the standard ten.
Players on the team expressed confidence that they can still win with eight fielders, but it is obviously not preferred.
With the absence of Lee, Caralis and Mitchell, Team Victory will shift Christine Lee to the outfield and place Tiffany Fong at catcher. Rachel Lee would also join the outfield. The guys would most liekly stay in their current positions.
No. 2 Team Victory was hopeful to receive the No. 1 ranking this week after finishing No. 2 last week behind Back to Back to Back AAU Champs, who tied last week's game to drop to No. 8.
But the unfortunately named "Slippery Bitches" are now No. 1, taking advantage of a poor Official's rating that Team Victory received last week in its match again then-No. 5 Shepard. Clearly, Team Victory must win big as well as impress the officials if they wish to capture the top spot and go into the playoffs in a favorable time slot.
The players of Team Victory already have a semi-rivalry established with Willard Residential College and its captain Jacob Chacko. PrimeTime squared off against Willard co-rec football twice in the regular season this year. Willard won the regular season match but PrimeTime got its revenge with a Round of 16 victory in the playoffs. In addition, Willard's team knocked out The Homewreckers in last year's co-rec softball playoffs in the first round.
There is a slight chance of rain for the game. Check www.nuim.net for weather updates. The game is slated to start at 5 PM.
