United was far and away the most physical team we have played in this tournament and we more or less backed down when they got in our face. The officials commented after the game that our boys would have been rewarded for swimming through the holds and being high in the water. The way the game is called out here is all about rewarding position and effort. We had good position most of the time, but were so low in the water that the officials allowed United to be physical.
The biggest bright spot in the game again came from the goalie position as Jake Chisholm bailed out his teammates on numerous occasions. The final score would have been a lot worse had it not b en for Jake (obviously the POTG).
Despite our worst effort of the tournament, the boys are upbeat and ready to take it to Santa Barbara at 4pm. All agree that 4-3-1 has a nice ring to it.
We are now positioned to take between 9th and 12th in the Gold bracket (33rd - 36th place).
