CSW Ultimate B-team Edges Sharon
The Cambridge School of Weston's Ultimate Frisbee B-team faced off against Sharon School on May 11.
This was a close and back-and-forth game. Sharon scored four very quick points at the start of the game, while CSW struggled to move the disc up the field.
A switch in tactics to a vertical stack and a zone defense, however, gave CSW the upper hand, as Uruk-Hai scored eight out of the next eleven points to arrive at halftime with a score of CSW 8 - Sharon 7.
Excellent cutting and great patience with the disc made the difference on offense, while a hard working cup slowed Sharon's progress up the field and forced throwing errors. The second half remained incredibly close, with both teams trading points back and forth.
With a soft cap on and a game to 13, Sharon scored two points to take the lead 12 - 11. A deep cut from Dean Weeden '16 and a great throw from Jackson Kessler '17 evened the score at 12 - 12. On the final point of the game, CSW forced a quick turnover and took advantage of the great field position to score the winning point. Both teams exhibited great spirit and enjoyed the close contest!
