The Firebirds are coming off an even bigger win against the San Diego Gulls, dominating in an 8-1 victory on Friday. The game was the last of the team’s road trip of the calendar year. Jesper Froden helped lead the team with a hat trick, as Coachella Valley is only five points back of the division-leading Colorado Eagles.
