The other recaps are down below.
Looking Ahead
When first place Hunter Green (3-0) meets Gold (2-1) in the 8:15 p.m. contest Tuesday on Court 3, former Saint Joseh's star Katie Kuester, in her new dual summer role as also a coach will go against Gold's Ted Hagedorn who she played for on the previous two champions in 2012 and 2011.
There will be no games next Thursday because of the July 4th holiday but the following week games will also be played on Wednesday, July 10, to make up for the lost night.
Here is the entire slate with records for Tuesday's action but no eye to July 4, obviously because games are not scheduled.

Thursday Overall Recaps Not Mentioned
Gold 68, Heather Grey 43: Saint Joseph's junior Natasha Cloud kept Gold right behind the leaders with 15 points, a total matched by Bryant sophomore Maureen Leahy, while recent Swarthmore graduate Madeline Ross scored 11 points.

White 53, Maroon 35: The other unbeaten team stayed a half-game out of first as recent Kutztown grad Ashley Wood, the daughter of Team White coach Keith Wood, scored 15 points, and Villanova junior Emily Leer scored 12 points.
Maroon (1-3), dominated by Division II University of the Science of Philadelphia, got 11 points from the Devils' Jessica Sylvester, and six each from USP's Brianne Traub and Camille McPherson.
Purple had the nightly bye to stay idle while Orange gets
Tuesday's bye.
Quick Notes
It was an injury-free night again based on the lack of informaton of such from the commissioner baring someone waking up Friday morning in aches and pains.
This time around the standings are in their natural tiebreaking state. Gold is ahead of Kelly Green on a head-to-head win as is Kelly Green ahead of Navy Blue for similar reasons.
In the next two-way, Royal has a better win than Red since they haven't played head--to-head.
In the three-way Royal Blue goes on top because of a 1-0 in the group while Maroon is next with a better win, followed by Heather Grey.
The running grid is now in proper order to look at tiebreakers for seeding and making the eight-team field.

This summer league would have better and more competitive games if they had a real draft, not a "so-called" draft.
