SaberCatsReport
The San Diego Legion host the Houston SaberCats in their last home game of the 2024 season at Snapdragon Stadium.
The Houston SaberCats are already locked in to the #1 seed in the West, and had a decent amount of change in their lineup so may have been trying some things out ahead of the playoffs. The San Diego Legion emerged as 37-24 victors, handing the SaberCats just their 2nd loss of the 2024 season and preserving their MLR-record 15-1 season set last year in 2023.
