The Middlebury Pranksters competed in the West New England College Open Sectionals this past weekend at Williams. The men's and women's ultimate frisbee squads both won their respective tournaments and the men's B-side team finished ahead of the other four B-side teams present. The men won all eight of their eight games, including a 15-9 victory over Williams in the finals. The 8-0 run brings the team's season tally to 28-4. The outstanding record places them at number five in the UPA Top-25 poll and first among New England teams. The victory ensures that the Pranksters receive a top seeding at the upcoming Regionals.
"Going into Regionals as the number one seed is pretty gosh darn exciting," said Charlie Roberts '11.5.
The women also went undefeated with a record 4-0. The lady Pranksters edged a competitive UMass squad 13-12 in the finals. "Beating UMass on Universe Point in the championship game was epic!" said Hannah Waite '11. The women's squad, although only ranked 34th in the nation, boasts an impressive 14-1 record on the season.
The Pranksters will compete in the New England College Open Regionals at Dartmouth on May 2.
