Lizzo brush off projections, defeat Lancaster, 247.18-178.00

Lizzo rose to the occasion and outperformed expectations, coming out on top with a 247.18-178.00 victory over Lancaster, who fell short of projections. Lancaster nabbed a 10.40-point lead on Thursday, but Lizzo held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Kyler Murray (62.2 points) and Jalen Hurts (57.2). Melvin Gordon III (61 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 20 Rec Yds) and Aaron Rodgers (143 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 26 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) led the way for Lancaster in the loss. This marks the first time this season Lizzo have gotten the best of Lancaster, after falling 194.95-150.43 in their last matchup. Lizzo will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinal round, while Lancaster attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and almost tripled Lancaster at the quarterback position (119.4 points to 40.5).
