What in the world is going on at AC Regionals? UNC went 3-0
yesterday, the other three teams COMBINED went 3-6 in pool
play and all finished 3rd in their respective pools.

Semi 1
10 NC State
11 Maryland

Semi 2
9 Georgetown
2 UNC

Were teams under seeded? Weather playing a factor? Massive
food poisoning? Some type of Woof Camp connection I'm
missing?

That's insane... It's especially crazy since almost all of
the pools just went to seed.

I added the results onto Leaguevine so you can visualize the
upsets better in bracket play (the seeds are next to the
team names):

Not to mention the crazy semifinal between Maryland and NC
State. Wolfpack coming back from 9-13 to win on universe is
ridiculous. I wonder if they'll have anything left in the
tank for UNC.

Darkside has gotta have the monkey on their back from not
making natties in a while - do they beat NC State for the
second time this weekend and go to the show, or crumble
under pressure without Sayre-McCord?

Anyone have any details on the tournament in general? Is
weather a factor? Did the top seeds lose key players that we
don't know about? I'd hope that the teams just clicked at
the right time, fill the world in.

From now on, I will only read Fanelli's WUFF spam as Woof
Camp.

have they been winning all these games without TSM, or did he go down
at some point in the tourney?

I thought that I read in the Skyd preview he went down in
Conference play. Haven't heard anything else, though. Anyone
have details?

TSM didn't play this weekend, still hurting from
conferences.

weather wasn't a factor. little wind here and there, but
nothing teams couldn't handle.

quarter finals were nuts. top seeds losing left and right
other than UNC.

nc state was a team of streaks all weekend long... highs and
lows. they came out sticking with UNC in the finals, but
fatigue set in and a deep UNC team took advantage.

parity was definitely the name of the game this weekend on
the mens side. lots of close games, lots of battles.

Georgetown was down 11-8 before going on a 4-0 to win it.

Weather was not a big factor. There was a light breeze, but
not enough to significantly impact team strategies.

The weather was not really a factor on Sunday. I think a
lot of the lower seeds just came out fired up. I know we
(NC State) took advantage of UVA poor decisions and also
worked on denying the underneath cuts, forcing them to huck
it. I heard from some USC guys that UMD just came out fired
up with hard man defense and took half on them 8-5. We had
a huge come from behind win against UMD running a 3-3-1 zone
to help stop their underneath cuts. Players on both sides
made some ridiculous plays. One I'm thinking of was a cross
field flick huck where a UMD defender poached off and went
up huge to tip the disc only to have the NC State receiver
catch it on a layout at the back of the endzone to start our
string of breaks. Kinda sucked for us because while our
game went to universe and we had to rally late, in the other
semi, UNC went up 8-0 on Georgetown... They came out rested
and with a ton of subs, we were already down players and had
no response to their hard running. Gotta give credit to
them, they never let up and did what needed to be done. But
just sayin, was NC State really the best team they played
all weekend?

Hosting the big Sunday games on a field with stadium seating
made spectating a lot of fun. A boisterous group of 50-60
pro-Maryland fans (players from other teams) seemed to sway
momentum in the first half to the Space Bastards, but many
of the fickle player-fans defected to root for the Wolfpack
comeback in the second half. I believe Maryland (playing
without Freddy Tsai after he hurt his knee in the first
couple of points) was actually up 13-8 before NC State went
on an incredible 7-1 run to win it.

The final point came down to a dropped pancake catch from a
UMD player where there appeared to be some (but not much)
contact on his back/elbow as he was catching it. The
spectators I was with were pretty evenly split on whether or
not they thought the foul should be upheld, but observer
ruled no foul and NC State converted for the win.

Big thanks to Dave Branick and the many other volunteers for
a great AC regionals!
