The Firebirds have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five contests by 21 points or more this season.

Arcadia smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 22 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in six consecutive matches.

Arcadia has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten games, which provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. As for Nandua, they now have a losing record at 6-7.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Arcadia has already played their next contest (against Chincoteague), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Nandua will face off against Northampton at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Northampton knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past four matches -- so hopefully Nandua likes a good challenge.
