BLUFFTON, Ohio - In the final game of the season for the Bluffton Beavers Rocket League squad, they would go head-to-head with the top seed and undefeated Coffeyville Community College Rocket League team. After falling behind 2-0, the Beavers would put up a fight in the third game, but the Ravens would prove to be too much as they would walk away with a 3-0 sweep to stay undefeated at 9-0 heading into the playoffs. With the loss, Bluffton finishes the fall campign with a final record of 2-7 in the division. 

A fortunate bounce on the kickoff to start game one would lead to a Ravens goal in the first ten seconds, as the Beavers would trail 1-0 early on. While the Beavers were able to add a goal, Coffeyville would stay composed and fire back-to-back-to-back goals into the net before Bluffton was able to put one up as the Ravens would take game one 4-2. The momentum would continue to be in Coffeyville's hand as the top seed cruised to a 5-0 win in game two to go up 2-0 in the match. The Beavers would slow down the offense for the Ravens, holding them scoreless and taking a 1-0 lead two minutes into game three. They wouldn't hold the lead long as Coffeyville would immediately respond with a goal of their own just 10 seconds later. With the game tied 1-1, Coffeyville would strike again, finding the back of the Beaver goal with 41 seconds left to play, as they would take the third game 2-1 and seal the 3-0 victory for the Ravens.
