Kuppa: Day 1 Late Results
Team 3 lost to SLAP A-1 6-12. The coach writing this was not in attendance and can provide no details.
Team 2 beat up on SLAP B to the tune of 15-0 or so. Jack Meara and John Lewis stood out, William Page was a man among boys (and girls), and the Lauber brothers combined for the shutout.
Team 1 pummeled Flyers C about 13-0. Matt Stipanovich was unstoppable, Ed Rose converted two of four breakaways, Pieter Derdeyn played more than half of the game in goal, and Matt Hohenberger scored one of the more meaningless goals in water polo history from the field.
In the nightcap, Team 5 triumphed 9-2 over the very physical St. Charles Storm. Jack Buelter, Trent Going, and Steve Sigman led the way in and out of the pool.
There are two changes to tomorrow's schedule. Team 5 now plays at 12:20 PM rather than 2:00 PM, and Teams 1 and 2 play at 2:00 PM rather than 11:30 AM.
Good night.

Kuppa da Daisy: Day 1 Early Results
Team 2
Daisy B defeated Team 2, despite William Page & Jack Meara's best efforts. Page scored a 3/4 length goal and Meara played great defense. Page was the POTG (in my opinion).
Team 5
Daisy A squeaked out a win against Team 5 in a hard fought game, falling 6-4. Trent Going & Jack Buelter worked defensive magic while Steve Sigman showed his offensive skills and kept their team in the game, though their comeback attempt ultimately ran out of time. Sigman was the POTG (in my opinion).
Team 4
Team 4 pulled the upset of the day, taking down the always-tough Flyers A team 9-8 in OT. John Savio was an offensive machine and Michael O'Neill played his typical stout defense. Dylan Jungles overcame some shaky early moments to have an absolutely dominant 4th quarter against a team with 2 of the best shooters in the tournament. Savio & O'Neill teamed up to finish off the game in OT with Savio putting the ball in the back of the cage. Jungels was the POTG for the 4th quarter and first minute of OT; Savio was POTG for the other 3 quarters and the waining moments of OT.
