The team went 4-0 in pool play, then won two games on Sunday to earn a place in the finals. They forfeited that game to Iowa State in order to play the Alumni team. Photos from the weekend can be found here. The really great ones were taken by Chris Ryan.
Conference Championship : April 13-14, Cedar Falls, IA
5th Place
Definitely NOT the weekend we hoped for heading into the series. Went 0-4 on Saturday, including a demoralizing loss to UNI after taking the half. Finished 5th, determined to turn things around for Regionals.

Regional Championship : May 4-5, Northfield, MN
4th Place
Wow. What else can be said when no one expects much from you except yourself and you come out swinging? We finish fourth at Regionals after knocking off Minnesota and fielding a team where everyone was a potential offensive or defensive threat. Read Stoop Kid's write up for the full effect. For perspective on the Sunday win over Minnesota, check this UltiWorld article. Only a few pictures because watching was way too much fun.

First tournament jitters for the 2013 IHUC team were evident Saturday, as we lost games to Wisconsin, Michigan, Carnagie-Mellon, and Kansas. But Coach Bart Watson said the goal of the tournament was to improve, and Sunday it was a whole new game. The decisively executed plays on both offense and defense led to two wins over GOP and Michigan State before the tournament was called due to weather. IHUC played loose and smiling, despite high winds and heavy rain, and several rookies stepped up to play key roles alongside the veterans in both wins. You can find a few pictures here.
