Chain Lightning receiving at 14-11, championship point for the ATL. 6 of Chain’s 7 players on the field touch the disc (odd man out: Josh Ziperstein, the greatest decoy in the game by far). The coup de grace: a 50 yard backhand from Swanson to Dylan Tunnell.

A-T-L !

UPA Nationals: Champions, 15-11 over Revolver in finals, 8-0 record
official UPA Championships ‘09 results

UPA finals recap

From the article: “Chain received on the final point and showed again their cool confidence. The disc was swung from side to side and then beautifully worked up the backhand sideline until a deep shot opened up for Greg Swanson. The Georgia alum launched an amazing upwind backhand huck to college teammate Dylan Tunnel to win the championship, 15-11. The team rushed the field and the celebration was on.”
