Alexander has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 18 of their last 21 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-5 record this season.

As for Veterans, they moved to 26-6 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak.
As of now, neither Alexander nor the Warhawks have any future games scheduled.
