WUCC Update

Well, we've lost three double game points now, all with a whimper instead of a bang. Against Osaka two days ago, CLX never got the disc back on defense. Against Mischief, we received and never moved the disc more than 10 yards out of our endzone before dropping it. Today against the Red Lights we received got the disc back at 15-15, but were faced with the task of having to move the disc 70 yards upwind trapped in our own endzone. We kept dumping the disc back against the zone defense and eventually dropped again, leading to a Red Lights win. So...0-3 on double game point without a real fight. Very disappointing.

Our game against Red Lights was frustrating for me. The wind was fierce in Perth today, but we came out playing like it wasn't there. Gave Red Lights some very short fields to score on after some undisciplined throws. They break upwind in the first half once and lead 9-7 at half. We outscore them 5-1 to start the second half, but they score downwind to make it 12-11. We can't convert downwind on many attempts and they get an easy upwinder after a foolish upwind turnover on our own goaline. They get the successive downwind defense and score and take the lead, never to lose it, winning 15-14.

I suppose that's all I got for today.

We beat LeedsLeedsLeeds from UK in consolation this afternoon. Tomorrow we have two more consolation games and then we're done. The highest we can finish now is 9th. The lowest is 12th.
