The Zebracorns focus on one thing, and they do it well. Truss. Their full court truss shots were their "secret sauce" to reaching the semi-finals in Myrtle Beach, and should help them reach the eliminations in Raleigh. Watching how elimination opponents react to the strategy will be exciting.

I am glad to share that we won the NC regional using the strategy dubbed "Secret Sauce." Being the 2nd ranked team, we shocked the crowd by picking the 44th and then the 38th ranked team. Aluminum assault (1287) played the hardest defense we had ever seen, and Worcester Beachbotics (4288) ran our shot to the human player right in to the low goal.
