Day 2 Glory Days Team Z

Sorry for the wait

Every Illinois team started Sunday in the championship bracket. With pride on the line what team was going to step up and be crowned the best Illinois split squad team?


Z vs North Park (8-15)
-Team Z's first game was against North Park. We were warned by Illinois Y that we would be playing against a zone. Good Z was picking apart every zone we played the whole weekend. North Park ended up throwing a zone for a few up wind points but after moving it around the zone like it was nothing they switched to man for the rest of the game. Another thing to point out was North Park was calling very tight lines. In the first half not many rooks were on the field for them. With the wind as strong as it was and playing against mostly returners North Park took a lead into half. After half North Park began to let more people play. That is when we started our come back. Now having better match ups everywhere we started to come back. Again North Park started to call tighter lines and then they finished up the game. This was a hotly contested game. At some times tons of calls were being made by both sides, but even with this it stayed a very intense game. I am definitely looking forward to playing this team with our whole squad.


Z vs Chicago round 2 (11-10 win!)
-With every Illinois team now in the 9th place bracket after losing their first games, Z was matched up against U of Chicago again. Yes we would get to play against the most spirited man in ultimate once more. Much of the same occurred in this game as in the day before, except that there were no big leads. It was back and forth the whole time. Z came out on top in the end again. Without any spirit discs to give out Zubair was shot down again by his former team.

Illinois vs Valpo
-By the end of the day Sunday x,y, and z were all playing with injured players. We worked out a deal with Valpo to combine all 3 split squads and play one game for 9th place bracket. Valpo won the game.

Overall Glory days was a really good tournament for everyone. Every one of our split squads had a good weekend owning 3 out of 4 spots in the 9th place bracket semi finals. On another note we move indoors today, and this year the university has expanded our throwing time. Who's up for the cross fits?
