The Tuesday Toss: More and More, We Know Less and Less
April 11, 2017 — By Evan Lepler
It was a wonderful weekend of firsts in the AUDL.
The Toronto Rush picked up a big win on Saturday against the New York Empire, but tasted defeat in the second game of their opening road trip of the season. In the four years prior to Sunday’s loss to the DC Breeze, the Rush had never lost in April, let alone in their first weekend of play.
After 33 weeks without pro ultimate, the march to Montreal officially begins on Saturday. Fourteen of the league’s 24 franchises are set for their 2017 debuts this weekend, including three of the four division winners from last year—the Madison Radicals (Midwest), Dallas Roughnecks (South), and San Francisco FlameThrowers (West).
