Open…putting the disc deep for her favorite receivers, Sarah Rice and Jennie Parker. Rice led the way with 5 goals,
several coming on spectacular receptions. New Zealand had no fear of the wind, using a high risk style of play totake half at 9-6. Germany stayed with it, and leaned heavily on the talents of Sara Wickstrom, who had anincredible game of 7 assists and 2 goals. In the 2nd half, the wind died down enough for the patient offense of theGermans to go to work. They chipped away at the lead, holding fast until they broke through to take the lead at
15-14. However, their celebration was short lived as New Zealand’s defense came through on the final twopoints, taking the game 17-15.

Top seeds go to universe point, U.S. and Japan victorious (Open Cont)…A receiver nearly came down with a low hammer throw in the end zone, but could not hang on, giving the USA
a chance for the win. Robbie Cahill found separation on his man, but the throw from Mark Sherwood hung into
the wind. As the disc pinballed between defender and receiver, it drifted to the back of the end zone where Sam
Kanner would lay for the catch and the win. Japan also squeaked by against Canada in a game that featured
rough physical play from the frosty northerners. With the game tied at 13, a Japanese thrower fit a passperfectly into the back left corner of the end zone, giving them the game, 14-13.
