History

2013 Tuscaloosa, AL:ALABAMAimage
Alabama advances to the finals after cruising through pool play and defeating Auburn comfortably in a rain soaked semifinal. LSU loses a pool play game to the 4th seed in their pool (Ole Miss), but still finishes first. They make it to the final after beating Tulane in a game for the ages- LSU led 10-7, then Tulane scored 6 straight to go up 13-10. LSU scores 3 straight to tie it at 13, and then breaks Tulane on double game point to win 14-13. Alabama wins a fairly boring final 15-7.

Then Bama answers with an upwind goal of their own en route to scoring the final two points to take the title 13-11.

1999 Inaugural Bama Sectionals Champion: ALABAMA

“The final game went down to the wire. Ole Miss went out to an early lead before their main handler, Phil Levy, went down with a knee injury. The score was 16-15 Alabama (game to 17, win by 2) and Levy was back in action leading Ole Miss in a drive down the field for the tying score. However, despite losing two players to injuries during the final three points, Alabama was able to maintain its poise and patiently work the disc for the final two scores. Bama wins 18-16 and claims the Sectional title.”

  1. How about another poll? Sectionals is closing in and so far we have a January poll, and a February poll. Seems only natural to have a March poll.

  2. I disagree, Ben is tagging the Spring Hill Ladies Ultimate Team (SHLUT) Captain…ergo not totally great, but in hindsight, he might be semi-

    • Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that. I knew LSU had won for forever. I have a regionals account from 1999 that has Ole Miss and Bama in the semis, and Bama losing to Rice? in the game-to-go. But that’s ancient RSD stuff. And while I don’t wanna give away too many Bama Secs secrets, a fab shop in rural Indiana is currently designing something special, and it is gonna display scores as far back as we can get them. I was thinking about just putting LSU TO NEGATIVE INFINITY on it.
