We played Leeds (Great Britain) this morning in a rematch of our game at Boston Invite about a month ago.  Leeds made a lot of great adjustments from our last game, picking apart our zone and forcing us to stick with our man defense.  Their handlers moved the disc quickly and they got a good number of hucks off dish passes.  Despite a short lightning delay in the morning, we were able to finish the game 17-5.

During our bye, I watched the Brute (USA)-Wildcard (Australia) game.  Brute’s “rookies” from Godiva are all great pickups (obviously) and while they’re a good team now, I’m excited to see them in 3 months.

We faced Copenhagen (Denmark) in the afternoon and went up early.  The game got pretty chippy and sloppy, which was unfortunate.  Copenhagen had knocked off Jinx in the round prior and that and Jinx’s upset of Leeds created an interesting 3-way tie for 2nd in our pool.  With only the top 3 teams advancing to the power pools, Copenhagen was knocked out based on point differential.

We face Wildcard tomorrow afternoon, then Brute and Zephyr on Wednesday.  It’s been a fun couple of days, and we’re pumped for more awesome ultimate. Also, a special shoutout to our soccer stud turned frisbee player Shelby following from home. Can’t wait to have you on the field with us! :)
