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.”
