More College Championships Fun

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.
