In the first game of Maple Grove vs College 2 teams came out hucking through the wind and forcing early turnovers. A low scoring back and forth affair Maple Grove was able to defeat College 2 benefitting off of sloppy throws and superior athleticism by one goal.
The second game of College 1 and Maple Grove was much of the same. Maple Grove was unable to capitalize off of long throws and was forced to work the disc up slowly. College 1 clearly the faster team was enormously aggressive but was unable to find key connections in the end zone. However, College 1s superior athleticism wore down Maple Grove for a one point victory.
In the final game of College 1 and College 2, College 1 came out victorious with another one point victory. This game was different and they converted on their end zone looks early and often.
College 1 were tournament champions.
