The one where we didn't win
We didn't win.
Semis against Buzz Bullets (Japan). We played quite well in the first half. They broke us early, but we broke back. We ended the first half on serve, up 9-8. Then, well, let's just say they went up 15-9. We couldn't put together any offensive rhythm at all. We had no answer for their quick, efficient offense, especially when we gave them the disc near our own goal. We scored a meaningless point at the end before they closed it out, 16-10.
Buzz went on to destroy Thong (Aus) in the finals, 17-8.
About 45 minutes after our loss we had to play Chilly (Aus) for the bronze. We came out flat and let them jump out to a lead. We closed it in the second half but couldn't pull even in the end, losing I think 17-15. So no medal for Sub Zero.
So now disc is done and I get to start thinking about how to get to New Zealand (I'm guessing flying is the best bet) and what do do once I'm there.
Hasta,
sg

Buzz Bullets sound sick.
4th in the world doesn't sound so bad!
Well, if 2nd place is the 1st place loser then 4th place is 3rd place loser, so SubZero is the bronze medal loser. When given lemons, make lemon-aide. Good luck in NZ. Watch out for the Dark Lord Sauron.
Seth - great updates! Sorry you didn't win the championship, but it would have been a pain to check a huge trophy through security anyway : ) Keep up the food comments, too. Love, the Shanlers in Mass.
