Boston 15 Somerville 11
South Boston, MA

On a beautiful afternoon at Saunders Stadium, Boston captured its second
Ultimate Showcase Men's Division Championship with a 15-9 win over Somerville.
Perhaps more focused after an earlier 15-11 loss to Somerville at Tufts
Stadium, Boston brought its championship caliber defense to this game,
challenging every short pass and blocking most of Somerville's deep attempts.
Adam Sigelman had three blocks including two horizontal layouts. Kelvin Schleif
kick-blocked two Somerville throws just after they left the throwers hands for
clean point stuffs. Giora Proskurowski came out of nowhere to smack away an
attempted Somerville score.

On the offensive side, Ben Friedenson and Keegan Uhl launched deep throws to
Josh McCarthy, Josh Cohen, and Proskurowski, leading to easy goals. Somerville's
Owen Westbrook, a Williams College alum, had three impressive long throws for
goals and caught another. Miles Montegomery-Butler had several skying grabs.
However, Somerville had no answer for Amherst Regional High School and
Northeastern alum Will Neff. True to his reputation, “a little Will Neff is
always good for the fans”, the lanky superstar ignored the windy conditions to
launch upwind goals to teammates including Uhl for the game winner.

The 150+ fans in attendance enjoyed the game and applauded the exciting 50+ yard
overhead throws (hammers), layout grabs, and fast-paced action. Discovering The
World (www.dtworld.com) provided discs, ultimate DVDs, and high-end backpacks as
raffle items for fans. Uhl won the halftime competition by throwing a disc 70
yards through the football uprights.

Keeping with Ultimate Frisbee’s core concept of “Spirit of the Game,” the
behavior of the players was very professional and sportsmanlike, setting a
positive example for the fans including those in attendance from Providence,
Falmouth, and San Diego.

Slow White 15 Cambridge 11
South Boston, MA

On a beautiful afternoon at Saunders Stadium, Slow White captured Ultimate
Showcase Mixed Division Championship with a 15-11 win over Cambridge.
Wisconsin alum Amanda Bailey led the way with several blocks and goals scored.
Jaspar Hoitsma and Chelsea Pawlus, star handlers for US Silver Medalist and
World Bronze Medalist Slow White, kept the offense flowing smoothly. Receivers
Rusty Ingold-Smith and Miles Montegomery-Butler connnected on goals, including
the game-winner. Mike Rozinsky had the throw of the game, lofting a floaty
out-of-bounds huck which curved perfectly into the hands of a sprinting Tim
Warden-Hertz.

For Cambridge, Jim Parinella, who won six National and three World Ultimate
titles with local legendary men's team “Death or Glory” (aka: “DoG”), kept it
competitive with defensive blocks and a accurate hucks (long throws) to Peri
Kurshan, captain of US National Semifinalist Brute Squad. Cornell alum Paul
Batten and Williams College alum Rana Suh had crowd-pleasing catches. Brown alum
Paul Vandenburg, who won the 2001 High School National Championships and the
2005 National College title, connected deep with Lehigh's Josh Mullen to keep it
close in the first half. However, the tricky winds thwarted the Cambridge short
game, causing several second-half drops which led to quick Slow White goals.

The halftime competition of throwing a disc through the football uprights was
won by Miller who set a Showcase record by connecting from 60, 70, and then 80
yards away. The 100+ fans in attendance enjoyed the game which was filmed by
Neighborhood Network News (Channel 9 in Boston). Highlights will be shown at
5:30, 9:30, and 11:30 PM on Monday as well as posted to www.nnnonline.org. Chris
Harding, who covered the game, was impressed with the caliber of play and
expressed hope that more high level games could be brought to metro Boston.

Keeping with Ultimate Frisbee’s core concept of “Spirit of the Game,” the
behavior of the players was very professional and sportsmanlike, setting a
positive example for the young fans including those from Bedford and Andover
High School. Thanks goes out to sponsors Discovering the World, Brine Sporting
Goods, and VC Ultimate for donations, discounts, and producing the elite player
jerseys.
