While the wind picked up even more, one had to imagine that the weather was playing right into the hands of one of our next subjects. As we mentioned before, Virginia Tech is known for their zone defense. So we expected big things going into Burn’s matchup against Brownian Motion, especially considering Burn’s results from 8s and the team’s thrashing of Middlebury in round one.

However, Brown had other things in mind. Brownian Motion exhibited a patience and reserve of a Nationals level team and found the holes in VT’s zone, earning a 15-13 victory.

Easterns 2010 wasted no time in getting competitive and interesting. In the first round two of the heavyweights from the Atlantic Coast region squared off in an excellent game.

Georgia was coming in off a disappointing finish at College Terminus and Virginia was coming into Easterns with a similarly bitter taste in its collective mouth after finishing poorly at the Wilmington 8s. Both teams were ready to start off on a new foot and it showed in the play as the game, which ended in a capped, double game point style in Virginia’s favor, 10-9.
