The Story of the tournament is probably the 2 near-amazing comebacks by Penn.
	Down 9-2 to UVM in pool play, the came back to take a 12-11 lead ina 
game to 13, only to eventually fall 14-12.  The next day, they almost did it 
again.  down 12-6 to Yale, the stormed back behind some nice O and a Zone (the 
fact that the wind decided to pick up right then didn't hurt)  the Zone went on
at 12-9, and it was't until it was tied that we were able to crack it, and then
pulled away with a 16-14 win.
	Wesleyan, fresh and rested because tufts couldn't show up for the 
second day (Booooo) was able to run UVM into submission.  UVM, who had just 
come away with a tough win over MIT, wasn't able to keep up, and bowed 15-4.
	the Yale Columbia Semi was a great game, basically a two point game 
right down to the end, when columbia ran off four straight points after being 
down 11-10, and ended up with the 15-12 win.
	The final was pretty much all Wesleyan.  Columbia fought hard, but 
couldn't do much against Wesleyan's legion of 6'3" well-rested deeps.  If 
Wesleyan had been run around a bit in the early rounds it might have been a 
different story, but as it was.... 17-11 Wesleyan.
	Both Wesleyan and Columbia looked really good, and should be contenders
for the Northeast spots for nationals.  Several teams looked like that they 
have a shot in fact.  It looks like the Northeast is wide open this year..

	Women's Bracket:

A			B
Columbia		Williams
Hampshire		Tufts
Wesleyan		Vassar
Purchase		Yale


I don't know much of the details, except that it was pretty clear that Williams
and Columbia pretty much dominated their pools.

	Most teams took off after Sat., So the only game on Sunday was a 
scrimmage between Yale and Wesleyan, which Wesleyan won.

	Thanks to all for a great tournament, good luck with your finals, 
sectionals and Regionals!!
