Club Sectionals day 2

Game 1 vs 7 Express
We came out flat and played timid. That was that. Personally that was my worst game of the touranment and based on score alone it was the worst for the team.

Game 2 vs Romp

The other half of the Stomp squad we beat day 1 was a bit handier with the disc and had some crafty players. They recognized our lack of depth on the female side of things and ran 4 - 3 women to men all game. Didn't help them much, we won pretty handily.

During the time off we watched Depends on the Jersey battle District 5. DotJ lost on universe point and took it hard but played a fantastic game. I'm rooting for the upset at regionals.

Game 3 vs Man Pro
Man Pro also elected to throw 4 - 3 women to men against us all game. One thing about club is that scouting is much better than the level of college tournaments we've played in. Every team gets an idea of the other team's threats and what they want to do. Every team we played day two marked me straight up from the get go, for instance. Anyway, we put in work against Man Pro but our lack of female subs meant we could not throw zone. They won 15 - 6 in a game I am convinced would have been closer if we could have thrown zone at them, their throws were nothing special and that extra pressure would have taken away a lot of their best options. Some of their players were really annoying but in general they are a fantastic bunch of people and I wish them luck at regionals.
