Easterns is Here

Finally, Ghetto Force is hitting the road again. After an exciting day one to Terminus, Ghetto has been dormant awaiting the next big day to look forward to, and finally it has arrived.

Starting Saturday, at 8:30, Ghetto Force will be taking the pitch against some of the best in the nation, including one of the perennial top programs, Georgia, as a sweet little wake up call to start the day.

With 20 teams coming in from all over, it's quite a batch of solid AC teams and regional powerhouses from the northeast and midwest. After playing Pitt, GaTech, and Tufts during Pool Play at Terminus, the daunting pool coming up this Saturday should come as no surprise. With two national qualifiers from recent years, it's certainly a five-some to be reckoned with. Dayton will have 4 big pool play games, starting, as mentioned earlier, against the overall one seed Georgia. After that, Dayton will be hard pressed against an East Carolina team that has been stovetop hot this spring, accumulating solid losses including a 9-11 miss against Michigan and a universe point loss to Notre Dame. Following ECU, Dayton will take on Kennesaw State, a Georgia team that benefits from playing a wealth of games, including bumping heads with Chain Lightning when they played in at Club Terminus. Lastly, to wrap up the bye-less run of four games, Dayton will square off against Williams, a National Championship qualifier in 2007. Whfew! It's going to be a busy Saturday of awesome Ultimate against some of the nation's best.

After having some time to kick back and watch other teams play, two of Dayton's vets, Addison Hoover and Evan Corcoran, will throw on the jersey of the North in the Eastern's North v. South All Star Showcase game.

It should be an exciting weekend of awesome Ultimate. And if you'd do your part, keep saying those Hail Marys and maybe the squad will get lucky and this awful rain will subside or miss the fields - a full weekend of play would sure be nice!!
