They have also been creeping up the National Standings jumping from 14 to11 this past week. The Blue Knights riding a two game conference winning streak, something that havent been able to say in recent years, look to keep building and climbing. The Blue Knights are involved in the 3 way log jam for third place and look for a win and to force a two way tie for 3rd and not 4th. The Blue Storm are carrying a 6 game win streak into "The Dungeon".

The two teams will try to form some seperation between each other in what is set to be another epic Great Rivers matchup. The Volunteers also look tokeep their winning ways and do something that no other team has done this season, beat the Lakers in Laker Fieldhouse. The Lakers are currently 11-0 at home.
