2007 April Fools Tournament

Submitted on April 1st, 2007 by Josh Thaxton

The 2nd Annual April Fools Tournament was a great success this year. Special thanks go out to Dan Forsythe and Helen Smith for manning the referee's table and Becky Reed for selling shirts and running other errands. Thanks also go out to all the members of the GMU Underwater Hockey Club and the Beltway Bottom Feeders who contributed the equipment, expertise and sweat which came together to produce such a great experience for everyone.

Congratulations go out to Connecticut for winning the open division in a hard-fought match against the Beltway Bottom Feeders. These teams were only separated by one point over two days but one point is all you need.

The college division was dominated by the University of Florida Gators who's fast and coordinated team which beat the Patriots in the final game. It seems unfair that a single school should be the national champions of three sports so look for some fierce competition next year. In the meantime, congratulations to you as well!
