#7 Tufts EWO left their lackluster performances in pool play and ran up a 6-0 lead against #22 Michigan Flywheel en route to claiming the Commonwealth Cup title 13-5. Tufts confirmed that when they’re at their best, they’re as scary as anyone in the division; Michigan has to be happy that their weekend, which started with the tournament nine-seed, ended with an appearance in the final.

They were truly tested by Georgia in pool play on Saturday, and today it was more of the same — EWO had to score four in a row, including an upwind break on universe point, to win their semifinal over tournament 13-seed Pennsylvania Venus. Coming into the final, they’d yet to put a full game together and were plagued by execution errors, missed resets, and drops.
