The Tigers came up for battle, but the Eagles struck early and often, dominating possession out of the ruck while racking up eight goals in the first quarter.
The Eagles, last year's division II champion at Nationals in Las Vegas extended the team's current win streak to eight (including the friendly a month ago in North Carolina). The next big challenge for the club will be to host the Boston Demons who are traveling to DC on Saturday, June 23rd.
The Tigers severely damaged their chances of competing in division one at the Nationals this year by racking up not one, but two Eastern Australian Football League losses on Saturday. After dropping the first match to the Eagles, the Tigers took on the Philadelphia Hawks.
After a fairly even first quarter during which former Philadelphia coach Andy Lochhead noted that the Hawks were fielding a largely inexperienced squad, missing veteran defenseman Greg Hodur, midfield standout Liam McGroaty, and fellow Aussie and former team captain Pete Tingate, Philadelphia began pulling away.
With a final of 11.16 (82) to 4.11 (35), North Carolina had opportunities, but not accuracy, as it often squandered chances wide, or short, allowing the Hawks backline to make the plays.
