ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Ultimate traveled to Myrtle Beach March 21-23rd to take on their biggest tournament of spring.
ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ went into the weekend ranked seventh out of a strong field of twelve teams, where seven were ranked nationally in the top 25. ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ began their weekend with a 15-10 win in a showcase game on Friday night against defending national champions, and 4th ranked, Middlebury. This was the beginning for a strong weekend for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, we dropped only one game in pool play on Saturday to SUNY-Fredonia, but still managed to win the pool. Going into bracket play on Sunday, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ ourselves matched up against Middlebury, and won another match against the defending champs. In the semis, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ faced conference opponent Davidson, which we managed to win and move on to face Richmond in the finals. We won a close 15-12 game for the championship. With the victory at Easterns, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ moved up to 5th place in the nation, and we are riding a lot of momentum going into the post-season in the coming weeks.
