4Amherst72.9Lamb, Lipa, Scherer

Summary:

Niagara Wheatfield dominated the Niagara Frontier League, while Starpoint was battling above their class at the ECIC's. Put them together, and you get a coin-toss race, where every position will matter. Our gut says Starpoint takes it, but this could go either way.
