As the Sunday sun rose in the east to a thick, yet picturesque fog, the eight teams left battling for the Dick’s Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions elite division national championship had proved on day one that they were clearly a cut above the rest.
With a combined record of 23 wins and just one loss (Team Carolina’s 6-5 victory over the defending champs, Edge Lacrosse Senior Elite in Toyota Pool Play), it became clear that North America’s top teams were loaded with talent.
Just as the first day of competition began with Carolina-Edge on the stadium field, so too did the second (just by the luck of the draw). Everyone’s focus during the 8:00 a.m. games was on the rematch of the day one upset.
Twenty-four hours after just its third loss on American soil in the past twelve months, Edge Lacrosse Senior Elite shined under the glistening Florida sun, nearly doubling up Team Carolina, 9-5. Dave Morton led all scorers with three goals, as goalie Cameron Watts recorded six saves in cage.
Edge Senior’s opponent in the semis? Team Headstrong (Pa.), after they knocked off the CNY Roadhawks Blue Select (Ny.), 7-6, in the quarters.
