(3) Here Riot does a great job getting the disc down the field quickly, but after getting the disc, Calise has way too many cuts coming at her.

(4) Interesting point where Riot is moving the disc towards the endzone. At one point Nora gets the disc in the middle of the field and immediately swings to Calise on the sideline.

(5) Interesting endzone play from Riot.

(6) Riot demonstrates getting the disc down the field quickly and efficiently, and Phoenix has a long way to go. Phoenix, then, struggles to move the disc and ends up giving Riot a short field after a turn.
