1987 was the year we would win it all. Most of the '86 team was intact and we were very hungry. We worked hard and sailed through the season, losing only to Chabot in the finals of Regionals. Penn State was the National's site, and it was the best run tournament ever. Games on time (every two hours), plenty of discs, medical support, water, and most important, wins for the Tide. We blew through our pool, out scoring our opponents 75-23. In the Semi's we handled San Luis Obispo and met up with Chabot in the Finals. Chabot got their revenge from '86, and the National Championship. We got the video, watching it over and over, wondering how we lost.
