NUT goes 6-1 at Huck Finn

In our last tune-up before the Series, NUT had an impressive showing at Cultimate's first ever Huck Finn Tournament. We finished 6-1 down in St. Louis, including wins over potential Sectional and Regional opponents. We won all six of our pre-scheduled games before falling to a tough Kansas squad in our re-seeded game.

SATURDAY

Truman State: W, 13-9
Revenge for our loss to these guys at MLC back in the Fall.

Michigan State: W, 13-6
Take half 7-1, as they have no answer for our suffocating zone defense.

Bye

Iowa: W, 13-8
A huge win against a potentially Nationals-bound team. NUT takes half 7-5 and closes it out in a gritty zone game.

Indiana: W, 13-7
Actually go down 7-6 at half, not playing with the same fire as the Iowa game. But in the second half we wake up and blank them, 7-0, to win the game and stay undefeated.


SUNDAY

Purdue: W, 13-3
Not much to say except a great start to our second day.

Missouri: W, 13-8
Similar game to Indiana the day before. Mizzou worked our 2-3-2 and took half 7-5. But a switch to cup and better offensive movement turned it around, as we won the second half 8-1.

Kansas: L, 12-8
Too many stupid drops and throwaways doomed us against this talented team. We had multiple turnovers just outside their endzone, a few yards away from scoring and potentially changing the outcome of this game.

*******

Still a successful weekend overall for us, giving us the confidence and game experience we needed just before Sectionals.
