24/02/2019 | We sent 3 teams to Maynooth for Mixed Outdoors and came away with 2 teams in the Top 6!
UCC 1 had a mixed Saturday, struggling against TCD but sailing through their other 2 games. They finished 2nd in their pool, guaranteeing them a spot in the quarterfinals. As fate would have it they met UCC 2 in the quarterfinal and knocked them out, then beat UL in a close semifinal to set up the final against TCD. The team settled for silver in the end – still something to be incredibly proud of!
Male MVP: Conor Powell
Female MVP: Meghan Choy
Male MSP: Lev Udaltsov
Female MSP: Sarah Mckeon
UCC 2 smashed all expectations by finishing 6th place as the top second team, and ahead of several first teams! The team, seeded 11th, defeated 6th-seeded NUIG in their crossover, snagging a promotion to the Top 8. They went on to beat fellow second team TCD 2 then lost the 5v6 placement game to DCU, ending in 6th place.
Male MVP: Danny Datson
Female MVP: Saoirse O’Sullivan
Male MSP: Diarmuid Moriarty
Female MSP: Michelle Ang
UCC 3 was a beginner-heavy team. They learned loads over the weekend and really put it up to other teams, showing off some fantastic grabs and good flow. The team came away with a few wins and finished 13th!
