The Tour also seemed to step up its handler switching to help contain the movement of Nazarov and Snyder. But in their junk, we did that less and struggled and tightened up on ourselves and threw into their poaches.” Lim noted as much, explaining, “they played a lot more man in the first half and had a very clean offense, we were able to move the disc side to side and use lateral movement.
Almost as quickly as they had fallen behind, the Tour narrowed the gap to 6-5.įury finally stopped the bleeding with a hold, but the half continued to be contested, with the All-Star Tour continuing to throw a 3-person cup zone, as well as a 2-3-2 junk set, to solid results. The Tour stuck with their zone, this time against patient handler movement from Fury, but a throw through the cup sailed out of bounds leading to a quick deep strike from Bethany Kaylor to Sarah Edwards for a fourth straight break. Wei then quickly dished the disc and raced down field to layout for the bookends score. The All-Stars continued to throw their zone look and generated another turn when Fury attempted to huck past the wall and Jenny Wei came down with a big sky.
On the next point, the Tour broke again, earning their turn on the strength of a Caitlin Fitzgerald layout D after transitioning out of their zone. A dump-set turnover 20 yards outside the Fury endzone led to the first break. The adjustments paid immediate dividends, gumming up Fury’s downfield looks and forcing them into turnovers. San Francisco’s offense, from both its D and O lines, was exceptionally clean in the first half, efficiently cashing in on All-Star turns for breaks without giving the Tour a second shot with a turnover of their own.ĭown but not out, the All-Stars came out of half on fire looking to get themselves back into the game and began to work in poachier looks on defense, as well as regular cup zones. The same could be said of Andrea Romano and Stephanie Lim, who augmented the Fury attack with breaks of their own. The primary handler duo distributed the disc well to the break side to open up the offense, while also aggressively attacking upline off of dump sets. Facing mostly person defense, San Francisco’s offense ran on the strength of smooth handler play from Alex Snyder and Anna Nazarov. In the first half, Fury performed up to their reputation, racing to a 6-1 halftime lead over the All-Stars. The first opponent up for the All-Stars was Fury, arguably the best women’s program of all time. The games would represent the Tour’s fourth and fifth contests in a five-day span, but unlike the previous matches, these games were to be played to 11 with a twenty-minute break in between.ĭramatic Comeback Falls Short Against Fury The fourth stop on the 2016 All-Star Ultimate Tour landed the college scene’s best in San Francisco, CA to play a doubleheader against the Bay Area’s two elite women’s teams, Fury and Nightlock.
