Entering the final game of the regular season, the Dolphins are 2-11-1 overall with a 1-5-1 record against the ECC. The Firebirds are 4-7-4 on the year with a 2-4-1 mark against the conference. Entering today's game, both teams can clinch a playoff spot with a win and some help. However, the Firebirds have the advantage of possibly being able to clinch a playoff spot with a tie.
