Second day results

Today we had our final pool game, against UFO from Finland. They like their 3-women cup zone defence, and they did very well against us. It was pretty tight, with the lead see-sawing back and forth until we took half 9-8. They got the next two, and didn't relinquish the lead (I think). They got a few up, we clawed back to within one, and at time cap it was 14-13. Game to 16. If they got the next two, we were relegated! They got one, and then we got one, to make it 15-14. So we knew we were through to the top pool. They got the next to win, but despite that win, UFO didn't make it through to the top pool.
Very tightly fought game, a couple of contentious calls, but good spirit showed through in the end.
I was very happy with my game, with no errors (I think) and a few d's. The O-team did well, but the D-team had problems converting when they earned a turnover. Most uncharacteristic.
Next up we play some very good teams from Canada and the US: Team Fisher Price and Brass Monkey. Very tough.
