The New Jersey 5s (7-1, 19 points) cruised to a 3-1 regulation victory over the Orlando Squeeze (9-5, 25 points) at MLP Austin on Sunday afternoon.

I know Dallas has been playing really well, but so have we, so I'm hoping that we can give them a good match," said 5s star, Anna Leigh Waters. "I'm sure the fans are probably going to be more Dallas, but I'm excited to see some 5s out there, and just hoping for the best."
