The winners will face off at 2:00pm ET, and the losing teams from the first two games will play in an elimination contest at 4:00pm ET. There will be a video livestream available via the Delaware Tech Athletics YouTube Channel, HERE.
 
Should the Falcons get at least one win in their two games on Friday, they will play at least one more game on Saturday, May 13^th, against a team TBD. Losing both games would eliminate Lackawanna. Going 1-1 would guarantee the Falcons an elimination game at 10:00am ET at Delaware Tech. If the Falcons go 2-0 on Friday, they will await the winner of that 10:00am ET elimination game for a 1:00pm ET Region XIX Championship game at Delaware Tech.
