Woo woo! We defeated Yep to put us in first place at the close of the regular season!
This third place team certainly didn't let it happen without a fight. It was a cold, windy day, but we won the benefit of starting out downwind. We traded downwind points for a while before scoring our first upwinder. Unfortunately, they answered right back with one of their own. It was a while before we scored our next upwinder, and again they immediately followed suit. We took it to half 8-7. Then, just after half (and just before we got kicked off our original field), Yep scored another upwinder and outscored us 3-1 before we had to move to the new field. We scored an upwinder to tie it up right as it was getting dark enough to warrant a cap. We agreed to a cap at 12 and then turned it on and scored the next two points, including one final upwinder to seal the deal at 12-10.
We did a good job putting out the right upwind and downwind lines. DOB earned the skirt with a nice layout D that prevented a deep connection to their top guy.
Thanks goes out to Krissy, who helped us out greatly by subbing with us. She earned runner-up MVP honors, while the MVP of the game went to Curtis.
