2002 Condors Tournaments
(page 1/4 of Condors tournaments in 2002)

[Recap by Joe Seidler]
The Condors played 6 games this weekend at Davis in an attempt to defend their win last year at DUI. Saturday, they first played the U.C. Davis team and won easily 15-5. Then came PBR (San Diego club team) who fell behind the Condors never to catch up, giving us a 13-6 win. Last was JAM X (JAM divided into two teams letting a lot of try-outs play). JAM X went up 3-0, but in a blink of an eye the Condors went on a run to go up 6-3. It got tied at 9-9, and then the Condors put them away to win 13-9.

Sunday started with the Condors playing the Portland club team in quarterfinals. Pretty easy game with a 13-4 win. Then it was JAM Y in the semifinals. The Condors took half 8-2 and closed them out at 15-5.

The surprise of the weekend was the Stanford college team. Usually the college teams that play at club tournaments don't win many games, instead they come to get experience. This time, Stanford was beating the club teams. They beat both JAM X and JAM Y and most of the other teams they played. So it was a Condors vs Stanford finals.

The sidelines filled up quickly; I'd say 100+ spectators. One thing I forgot to mention was that the Condors had a very small team. Only 11 of the Condors were there plus 2 new players trying out for the team. Stanford had over 20 players. So was it a fair match... no.

The Condors played zone often forcing Stanford to make a lot of passes. And eventually Stanford would give the disc away before scoring. Stanford has a great team this year (undoubtedly the favorite to win the college national championships in May), but the best college team vs the best club team? Well...

Condors vs Stanford 15-6

The Condors are DUI champions 2 years in a row. Back-to-Back is becoming a habit for the birds.

Total points scored for and against the Condors:
Saturday = 41-20
