Founders' Sectionals, Day 2

Pike faced off against some old friends in the first round of the day and after defeating them, took out some cape-crusaders from Franklin and Marshall. After that, it was up the hill to cheer on Roots of Rhythm since Pike could only make the finals if Roots beat Swagger and forced a three-way tie (our +7 point differential would be enough to win us the pool). The game ended up being a battle, but the Roots D eventually wore down Swagger and Roots took the game 13-10.

Whew! Undeservedly perhaps, Pike had new life and headed off the finals to face Pittsburgh's Forge. We weren't about to, as JG put it, anger the frisbee gods by squandering the chance that Roots had provided us and so we fired up and came out hard against Forge. A bit over eager, we faltered a little bit early on, falling behind 3-1, before all cylinders began firing and we took half 8-4 and never looked back. The D was fierce and the O was methodical and Pike showed for the first time this season, exactly the kind of game we can play. In the end, we took back the Section with a 15-7 victory.
