The Cat Fight 2013 tournament drew to a close on Sunday with Northwestern Ultimate battling it out for the championship against schools from across the country.
After going 3-1 on Saturday NUT had to face Valpoaraiso in an early match up before they could advance. Valpo put up little resistance as Northwestern made quick work of their opponents with a
13-1 win. In the next round they faced a much tougher challenge in the squad from Indiana. Unfortunately for Northwestern its chance for a title ended early in a loss to IU.
However, NUT redeemed themselves in the consolation rounds. Against Eastern Illinois they pulled off the 9-6 win to face North-Carolina Ashville for 5th place. That may have been the toughest game of the day for Northwestern as they came away with a close 13-10 victory and head back to Evanston with 5th place in hand.
College tournaments continue next week with the season building towards the conference and divisional championships in April. Western Illinois' Mass Hysteria, my former team from when I attended WIU, is participating in the Midwest Throwdown on March 2-3 in St. Louis, Mo.
Check back at NLS for results from Mass Hysteria and more college updates.
