June 18^th, 2009

The sun was shining down on Lansdowne Park and conditions were perfect for a night of competitive ultimate frisbee.  This week it was the match ups of identical regular season records.  The 0-2 Red Army took on the 0-2 Bulldogs at Lansdowne fields in what turned out to be a tight match.   Red Army built up a lead to 13-8 when the Bulldogs mounted a startling comeback.  After tying the game at 13-13 they were a catch away from catching their 14^th point, but it was dropped and so was the game for the Bulldogs.  Katie MacNamara had an outstanding performance for the Bulldogs in their 15-13 loss.

In the battle of the 1-1 teams, the Huckstables were playing with no subs but jumped out to an early 8-4 lead versus Delusions of Grandeur.  But DoG used fresh legs to their advantage, as they were able to make the long come back and take the game 15-12.

For the first time in their seven-year history, Hungate’s mom unveiled their pink away jerseys.  The boost in team moral seemed to help them play along side a strong Suspects team to an 8-6 halftime score.  However the Suspects then took the first four points of the second half and never relinquished the lead winning 15-11.  Jody Brown and Tepa Wettergreen both had strong games for the winning side.

In Canatara Park, the 2-0 Banana Hammocks faced off against the 2-0 Megalomaniacs.  The Megalos were able to take a 6-3 advantage before the Bananas split open their zone defence, and came from behind to finish the half at 8-6.  The Bananas continued their momentum all the way to a 14-11 lead and when all seemed lost for the Megalos, they clawed back to within one.  But the Bananas came out on top thanks to some strong play by Alexis Smith.  Nathan Vosbourgh played well defensively shadowing the Banana’s handlers.
