Game 1 - Dartmouth 15 BC 11
We played through some heavy wind this morning to come out with a strong win to advance to quarters.
Game 2 - Dartmouth 11 Cornell 12
Playing on a field that exacerbated the upwind/downwind dynamic because it was one long slope, the Train looked for its second win over Cornell this Fall. After letting the Buds get up 4 breaks in the first half, the Train staged a second-half comeback to reach universe point. Despite forcing 4 turns during the point with our hard man defense, going upwind and uphill on the last point proved to be too much; Wall Street Executives bonuses.
Though two losses on universe sting, the Train learned a lot this weekend, and is going into the final stretch of the Fall with a good idea of what it needs to work on and accomplish before the spring.
Our last fall tourney, UOA Nationals (Nov. 20-21), should be an excellent test of how much we learned this weekend, as well as a great opportunity for some outdoor ultimate before the cold New Hampshire winter forces us indoors.
Greenville NC here we come! Woo Woo!
