Sarnia Ultimate Frisbee League

First up this week there was a make-up game between the Suspects and Hungate’s Mom.  The Suspects found themselves down early with a 3-0 deficit before finding their groove, and scoring 8 unanswered points leading into halftime.  The game finished with the Suspects winning 15-6 with the females being a big reason for the turn around.  Stacey Jubenville had a break out game scoring and passing for a couple of points.  Honourable mentions to the engaged couple, Erin Miller and Eric Hawryluk, with congratulations on their upcoming wedding.   

Two days later at Lansdowne fields, the Suspects were back in action against the Banana Hammocks.  The Suspects proved to be a little too much for the Bananas, who were missing their top handler Tyler Shaw.  The Suspects were efficient on offence, working their way to an 8-0 halftime score. The Bananas put together a three point rally in the second half, much in thanks to Candice de Bock’s diving efforts.  In the end, the Suspects did prevail with an easy 15-4 win.  Shawn Stevenson and Brandon Owen both had good games for the Suspects.

The Huckstables utilized their patented patient offence against the Red Army zone this week.  Todd Kerrigan had a great lay-out catch for the Huckstables.  Red Army had too many costly turnovers, and never got it together in the 15-8 Huckstable win.

The Bulldogs were riding a five game losing streak going into their match with Hungate’s Mom.  The Bulldogs came out strong in the first half scoring 5 quick points, Chrissy McNamara catching two of them.  The Bulldogs used their team speed against an increasingly tired Hungate’s team, all the way to a 14-5 lead.  With their backs against the wall, Hungate’s were then able to score three consecutive times on bad turnovers by the Bulldogs.  Craig Bourque kept a cool head under pressure and had some stellar defence to close out the match.  Chrissy McNamara finished off the hat trick and the game with an outstanding catch.  The Bulldogs breathe a huge sigh of relief getting their first win in 6 tries, 15-8 final.

There was no pants party in Canatara this week, as the increasingly stealthy Megalomaniacs kept the second place Pants Party team to single digits.  The Megalo’s sophomore Steph Meacham had a breakout performance single handily scoring 5 points and getting 2 big D-blocks.  The result was never in question as the Megalos moved into 3rd with their 15-6 win.
