The fought back to take an 8-5 lead at halftime. The second half was more of the same, and while Carleton pulled to with 9-8 the Oregon fast paced offense proved to be too much to handle.

From there Oregon scored six straight points to claim the title with a 15-8 victory.

Congrats College Champs

The women of the Oregon Fugue played their style and kept the game dirty in the second half against Carleton College to win the Womens 2013 College Championship.

 Syzygy of Carleton pulled away 3-1 early, but after a timeout and some long hard fought points Oregon had turned the match in its favor. Their coach credited a layout D for being the spark that really helped his team get it going.

For the Fugue that means a dirty style of play that seemed fitting considering the weather on Monday in Madison.  Carleton managed to cut it to 9-8 but Oregon responded and ended the game on a 6-0 run for the win.

For Central Florida their second trip to the college championships will last one more day as the War Dogs pulled off the upset on Sunday with an easy 15-8 victory over the more experienced Carleton college team. UCF made their first ever championships in 2012 and finished 5th. This season has been a different story with the Dogs going 3-1 through the first two days.

The Dogs coach said it probably isn't going to sink in until tonight. He said he is proud of how a team known for being jokesters has transformed into a competitive group because they believe in their ability.

On Monday they'll play for the title, but they'll have to get by the defending champs in Pitt first. Pittsburgh began the day 3-1 and showed no signs of slowing down as it faced
Oregon in the semis.

The two battled and were 8-7 at halftime. However in the second half Pitt began to pull away as it quickly moved ahead with an 11-9 lead. Pitt came away with 14-11 win and a shot at back to back titles.

In the Womens division Oregon outlasted Iowa 15-11 in game one. Tied at 9-9 in the second Oregon went on a 6-2 run. It'll face the Carleton college women on Monday for the title.

Carleton and the OSU Fever went back and forth early in their semifinal match.  They were tied 8-8 after the break. However,  a  late run gave Carleton the edge it needed to pull off the win.

Both finals will be Monday in Madison Wisc.

UCF DOGS OF WAR. Moving onto the finals. For the first time.
