Regionals, Day 1

Winning Sectionals made for a pretty cushy Day 1 at Regionals for The Ghosts.  We basically walked through Ontario Mixed (15-3) and Blue Noise (15-5) to qualify for semis.  With 4 bids, semis was our Game-to-Go, meaning our road to Nationals went through a relatively unknown Albany-based team named Destructors. 

As it turns out, this was the least exciting Game-to-Go I've ever witnessed.  We were up 9-0 before the Destructors managed to punch in their first goal, aided largely by some extreme wind.  They managed one more before the end.  The Ghosts win 15-2 and are going to Nationals! 

The Destructors appeared to be a young athletic team and I think the windy conditions and perhaps our reputation intimidated them into a poor performance.  Not that they could have beaten us, but given their play against other teams in the tournament, they should have faired a little better than 15-2.
