Easterns 2011

Eastern 2011 was like Centex the past few years. Basically, this tournament had just about everybody who’s anybody. We were in a pool with Colorado(3 seed), Wisconsin(6 seed), and Georgia(14 seed). We won big against Colorado in our first game 13-7, lost a tight one to Wisco 14-12, and won a too-close game against Georgia 12-9 in pool play. We ended up winning the pool by point diff because we were in a 3-way tie with Colorado and Wisco. Then, in the 1v1 crossover, we lost 15-10 to the tournament 1 seed, Carleton. On Sunday, we won a tight game against Oregon in the quarterfinals, but lost our next two against Pitt and CUT to finish the tournament in 4th place.

Overall, we were happy with our performance against some top teams nationally, but we are now focused solely on our regional competition, since this year’s Great Lakes only got 1 bid to nationals.
