Key to the Game
 
The Knights key to the game against Durham will be to maintain the game through their strongest player this season Andrew Ross. If both Ross and Clay Couchman can have a strong performance this evening, it will give the Knights an opportunity to go above .500 this season.
 
Durham's key to the game against Fleming is to continue their strong performance that the team has showcased during their current nine game winning streak. If Riley McAllister can continue to assist key player Brad vanHartingsveldt with a strong defence from Jeremy Hoekstra, the Lords will be looking at their 10^th straight victory.
