Coming into the tournament seeded 5th overall, Harvard Red Line had high expectations and was gunning for a national championship. Placed in one of the toughest pools at the tournament, we were determined to make a strong showing and show that we belonged with the big boys.  The tournament got off to a strong start as we blew Whitman away and took the first game 15-9.  In the afternoon, we played the number one seed in our pool and 4th seed overall, University of British Columbia.  Despite Red Line taking half at 8-5, UBC came storming back to take a 10-8 lead.  However, this Red Line team would not give up and sealed a dramatic comeback victory with a full field George Stubbs to Andrew Vogt huck.  Red Line 14- TBirds 13.  This win and other pool results ensured that we would move on to elimination rounds.  Resting our starters, we lost to Cornell the next day, as the Buds won 15-7.  However, the biggest pool game was still to come: Harvard vs. Carleton - a rematch of last year's stunning Red Line victory at nationals.  The game did not disappoint, as both teams fought to take first in the pool and earn automatic placement in the quarter finals.  Despite a late comeback effort from Red Line, Carleton pulled away winning 14-11 and taking first place in the pool (Note: Carleton would go on to win the national championship, and 14-11 was the closest anyone would coming to beating them in the tournament).  Red Line would not let this disappoint derail the season.  We still had placed 2nd in our pool and had advanced to the pre-quarters, where we would face a familiar foe: our regional rival, Tufts.  Having lost to us in both the Boston Conference and New England Regional Championship games, Tufts was hungry for a win, and they came at us with a sense of desperation.  However, despite a late comeback attempt, Tufts would not end our season-- and Red Line prevailed 11-9 to advance to the quarterfinals.  In the quarters, we faced the Wisconsin Hodags.  Despite having already defeated the Hodags twice during the regular season, we knew that we had our work cut out for us.  Wisconsin was playing their best ultimate of the season and we knew we had to bring our A-game.  However, it seemed like Red Line had nothing left in the tank-- and Wisconsin rolled to a 15-9 victory.  Wisconsin would go on to beat Colorado in the semis and play Carleton for a national championship.  To say that we were disappointed with the loss to Wisconsin would be an understatement.  However, Red Line still placed 5th in the country-- and we were proud of our accomplishments.  In addition, George Stubbs won the Callahan Award, and was recognized by all as the best player in the country.  Although we are now sad that Red Line '11 is over, we are proud of our accomplishments and hope to continue building on this year's success.
