As the day started, we were surprised to be facing the 1-12 team, who won their play-in game over a higher ranked team. After a slow start on our part, our team picked it up and won in good style. Our second game was a bit more a of a battle, as we fell behind 5-3 then scored 6 unanswered points to jump ahead 9-5, finishing the game at 13-10 for the win.
In the finals, we again were surprised to play a team that had upset the "local favorite" (and the only team to beat us in the regular season). It was again a battle, but we slowly pulled away with an 8-5 lead at halftime. We put together a good string of points, turned it up a bit and ended up winning 15-9! I was surrounded by awesome teammates and I was glad to contribute with solid D, good passing, and caught 4 of our points in the finals game (almost had the game winner too, except for a great D by my opponent).
So with a final record of 18-1, I'm again on top of the frisbee world! I haven't been on a championship team since 2002, so it feels good to win again. My team was a fantastic group of players and great people, proving there really is something to the chemistry of a team. After a bit of debating, I decided to take the fall season off to enjoy the outdoors (assuming I'll still be in Colorado) and focus my attention on other pursuits. But what a fun ride and I'll be back on the fields for sure next spring!
