DAVENPORT TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Team Omaha went 1-0-2 and advanced to the semifinal
round.
Game results were as follows:
Omaha 1, The Flock from Chicago 0
Omaha 1, Cincinnati Stars 1
Omaha 2, Cleveland 2
Semifinal game
Omaha 0, Cincinnati Flying Pigs 3
Cincinnati ended up winning the tourney by beating
Cleveland 2 to 1.
Note - Shaun Nepodal led the team by scoring 3 of
Omaha's goals.
Skills competition - Steve Andersen and Andy Bradfield
finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in the skills
competitions (separated by a measly .05 of a second).
COLORADO SPRINGS TOURNEY
The Omaha team placed second in the rec division at the tournament.
Unfortunately only 5 players made the trip to Colorado. Colorado was nice enough
to give us 3 players to help us in the tourney. We lost the first game with 8 players,
and due to scheduling conflicts we had to play our second game with only 5. It was a very slow, time wasting
victory but pretty exciting for us. That win sent us to the Championship game (where we had
our 8 players again--and very good players they were) but we were unable to hold our early lead
and lost 4-3 to some really fast team.

2002 OKOBOJI BROOMBALL RECAP
Omaha Fairway Tiger Toms Finish in 2nd Place.
The Toms got off to an excellent start by beating the
Ferguson team from Minnesota 7-6 in their first game.
The game went through regulation and sudden death OT.
Their victory was secured in the shoot out that
followed.
The Toms advanced through the winner's bracket of the
13 team field to advance to championship game at
Sunday noon where they met up, once again, with
Fergusons. Fergusons needed to beat the Toms twice
for the championship. They did it be beating Omaha
3-0 and 2-1 in two close, back to back, games.
The Omaha Nads -
The Omaha Nads won their first game decisively. In
their 2nd game, the Nads met up w/ the Bob Cornel
Construction (BCC). The game was hard hitting and wet
with temperatures of 60 degrees. Regulation ended
with a scoreless tie. BCC was able to beat the Nads
1-0 in a shoot out in this beer brawl of a game.
Although disappointed, the Nads resumed drinking and a
good time was had by all.
Powder Puff Championship
Congratulations to Keri Andersen who helped the
Tweeters achieve victory in the Powder Puff
Championship. Keri said the hitting in the all
women's game was harder than that of the men's games.
Thank You

Winter Games for organizing this great event. Also,
special thanks to the crew from Des Moines for their
solid effort and play for both the Omaha teams.
