Tuesday night was the final regular season game for my
ultimate Frisbee team. It was a rematch
against Green, the only team we’d lost to so far. Since they also only had one loss, we were in
second because of that loss. However, if
we beat them, we could take over first since they’d have two losses.
We beat them handily.
It helped that we had even more subs that normal – 9 of them, instead of
the usual 6. Only seven play at a time,
so we had over a line of subs. They had
two subs. Now that is not a guarantee of
who will win or not. I’ve seen teams
with no subs beat teams with as many subs as we had. You have to keep your head in the game at all
times, and it is easy to do if you are playing quite a bit.
But in this case, it was an indicator of things to
come. We started out on a 4 point
run. They got 2, we got 1, they got 2
more to make it 5-4. But then we went on
a 4 point run again to take it to half at 9-4.
I didn’t keep tabs on the score quite like that in the
second half, but we came out on top 17-11.
Not only does this get us top billing going into the tournament this
weekend, but it also means that we don’t have to be there until the second
round starts at 11AM. I’m much happier
about that than 9AM.
I only played two points during the game, one each
half. But I’ll get more play time on
Saturday since at least 5 people won’t be there who were there Tuesday
night. Since they have all been key
contributors to the team over the course of the summer, it will be interesting
to see what this means for us come Saturday.
Not only that, but no team that is ranked first going into the
tournament wins (at least I don’t think so).
Either way, it’s been fun to be on a winning team again for
a change.
