Report

The NOLA Gold host Eastern Conference rivals the Chicago Hounds in a repeat of the 2024 Eastern Conference Semifinal!

Both sides are coming off of bye weeks in Round 6, with the Gold still trying to kick into gear. The Hounds lead the Eastern Conference, and will be looking to extend the gap to their Eastern Conference rivals here. These teams have met 4 times in the past, including 3 times in the regular season where the NOLA Gold hold a 2-1 series lead. The last meeting between these sides, however, was in the 2024 Eastern Conference Semifinal, when the hounds got the better of the Gold with a 27-42 victory on the road to end NOLA’s season.
