Cookie Monsters Victorious in Battle for Second Place

The battle of 2^nd place between the Megalomaniacs (4-1) and the Cookie Monsters (4-1) was a hard fought match.  The first half saw the two teams exchange points until it was 8-7 in favour of the Megalomaniacs.  The Cookie Monsters were able to kick up their defensive coverage in the second half to a stifling level.  The Cookie Monsters allowed only 2 further points in a convincing 15-10 win.

Hungate’s Mom (2-3) played Spread Condor (0-6) in a serious and intense match.  Spread Condor was able to keep up with Hungate’s Mom until half time trailing 8-7.  Although Spread Condor continues to improve throughout the season they could not grab their first win falling 15-11.  Hungate’s Mom’s Adam Wettges is given credit with chasing a stray duck off the field nearing the end of the game.

A team on the rise Red Army (3-2) played their best match of the season against the Ultimate Suspects (2-3).  Usually playing zone on defence, Red Army found playing man on man defence gave them a huge boost for this match.  The Ultimate Suspects did put up a fight coming back from a 6-point deficit to trail 11-9, but Red Army was too much in the end winning 15-11.

The Port Huron Ultimate Club’s (5-0) two weeks of byes did not seem to slow them down in a dominate 15-4 victory over the Pylons (1-5).  Chris Oscher played particularly well on defence for the winning side.  On offence Port Huron made very few unforced turnovers making it difficult for the Pylons to play any effective defence.  For the Pylons it was Scott Hall who played a strong game as handler on offence.

With two games remaining in the season, Port Huron Ultimate Club attempts to make Sarnia Ultimate league history by completing an undefeated season.  This has not been accomplished in the 6-year history of the league.  Their remaining games are against the Megalomaniacs and Red Army; both teams are currently tied for 3^rd overall.
