The Florida Mayhem beat the Boston Uprising 3-2 on Saturday to hand them their first loss of Summer Stage qualifiers in the West Region.

Florida opened with a 2-0 victory on Antarctic Peninsula before the Uprising leveled the match with a 3-2 win on Midtown. After the squads split the next two games, the Mayhem blanked Boston 2-0 on Lijiang Tower to secure the upset.
