The
Dayton Air Strikers look to continue their hot streak as they take on the PBL Champion
Rochester Razorsharks tonight at
7pm @ Roosvelt. The Razorsharks are
9-1 and atop the Eastern Divison in the PBL, whle the Strikers are tied for second in the divison
(3-4) and look to get to .500 for the first time this season. The Strikers lost to the Razorsharks in their last meeting, in which it was decided in the last 5 minutes of the game, with Rochester making more clutch plays en route to the road win. However there was a
huge disparity at the free throw line as the Razorsharks shot
30 more Free Throws than the Air Strikers, due to a huge physical presence and a championship mentality which the Air Strikers look to match.

intense battle tonight, as the game will be held at the
