Hofstra Men’s Club Ultimate Frisbee traveled to Atlantic City, New
Jersey to take part in the Atlantic City Invitational on Saturday, March 11th
and Sunday, March 12th. The Flying Dutchmen came in as the #10 seed in a
12-team tournament. Hofstra would have a solid first day by going 3-0. This was
highlighted by a rare universe point win, Ultimate Frisbee’s version of sudden
death, against a strong Fordham team. Hofstra would continue their dominance as
the Flying Dutchmen went 2-0 to advance to the semifinals. Hofstra would lose
in the semifinals, but still exceeded expectations coming into the tournament
by finishing fourth overall. Captains Gabe de Oliveira, Brian Kelly, and Joe
Murphy led the team well and were instrumental in helping the team outperform
its initial seeding. Sophomore Ian Weimer also had a phenomenal tournament by
playing strong defense and offense.
