The Sarnia
Ultimate Frisbee League had its final playoff tournament
this past Saturday August 18th. The
tournament had games time capped at one hour and fifteen
minutes or first to 13 points. Exception to the
championship game, which was a game to 15 points with no
time cap.

The morning
started off with four quarterfinal matches
involving the top eight teams from the
regular season. The number one team of the
regular season Port Huron Ultimate Club had
an easy game against the eighth seeded
Pylons, winning 13-1.

The second
seeded Cookie Monsters took on the seventh
seeded Ultimate Suspects, a rematch of last
year’s championship match. Last year it was
the Suspects coming out on top, the Suspects
also won their only game against the Cookie
Monsters in the preseason this year.
The Cookie Monsters were able to reverse
their fortune taking
this quarterfinal match 13-6.

The third seeded
Megalomaniacs were in tough against
Hungate’s Mom, who they had lost 17-16 to in
the regular season. The Megalomaniacs were
able to pull away in the second half to a
comfortable 13-6 win. The 4th-5th
match involved Red Army and Totally Unfit.
Totally Unfit up 11-9, lost the final four
points of the match in their 13-11 heart
breaker loss.
All top seeds therefore advanced to the
semifinals.

The Port
Huron Ultimate Club continued their
undefeated run against Red Army in the first
semifinal match. Port Huron were able to
take a comfortable 13-7 win against the
tournament’s fourth seeded team. In a much
closer semifinal between the Cookie Monsters
and the Megalomaniacs, the Megalomaniacs
were able to jump out with the first two
points of the game. The Cookie Monsters
stormed back to close out the half with a
7-3 lead. The Megalomaniacs reversed
momentum to start the second half, and tied
the match up at 10-10. On time cap the
Megalomaniacs’ Cara Paterson caught the game
winner to advance to the final in dramatic
fashion. |
The championship match was a
tight one throughout. Port Huron began to show signs of
exhaustion for the first time this season when the game
was tied at 11-11. The Megalomaniacs on the other hand
were able to maintain their energy on their way to
winning their first Championship title, score 15-11. In
the bronze medal match, the Cookie Monsters took third
place honours.
