What a weekend. I had a blast. Winning MSC is a dream I've been chasing since 2009 and it felt so good to finally achieve that. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this event happen, to the sponsors who supported the event, and to FiM for putting on quite the show. I look forward to watching the 1 hour special coverage.

27 - 20+ years playing in MI without an alliance together? It finally happened! 3 years in a row in the finals at MSC and 2 wins speaks to the caliber of team that RUSH has really become. Thanks for selecting us. It was great to work with you again. I enjoyed winning with the same people I knew when I was a student and meeting the new ones that have helped the team become what it is today. The number of alumni you retain is remarkable.

1718 - What a steal of a pick, can't believe you were still there. You guys rocked and we would never have set the MI high score without your super accurate defense shot. I hope you can resolve your drive train issues for St. Louis.

6086 - Wow. You earned the win. What an phenomenal performance from a rookie team. When I heard Pi was out I thought it was over for us. So glad you proved me wrong.

5150 - Most consistent and clean defense I saw in the playoffs. You cut down our scoring like no one else could have without drawing the multitude of penalties so many other teams got. You put together an alliance that proved you have better scouting and sense of how the game will play out than many other teams your age.

5460 - I knew how awesome you guys were when I saw you put up 9 high goals in a qualifying match. What a fantastic robot. I'm glad I got a chance to talk to some of your mentors before alliance selection. You seem like you have it together and I look forward to seeing what comes out of your team in the future.

2137 - A gamble of a pick after the robot issues you faced in qualifying - but you pulled it off. When you're on you are on. And you killed it throughout the entire playoffs. Glad you were able to get everything together. Great performance.


Also congrats to Andrew Spiece - an award well deserved.
