The # 3 ranked team in the world, Chicago\/NY kept up the momentum from last week’s Erie Tournament championship with two opening night wins in South Bend, Indiana, beating # 16 ranked Ashland Stockpack of Ohio, 4-0 and the # 7 ranked Bar of Appleton of Wisconsin to advance to the winner’s bracket semi-final. For their efforts, Chicago\/NY will get Friday off, returning to action Saturday morning, when they will face the winner of # 9 Minnesota Angels\/unranked Duncan Outlaws game.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the other end of the bracket, the # 1 ranked team in the world, the Broken Bow\/Jarvis Travelers showed why, pummeling # 20 ranked Dolan & Murphy, 16-0.<\/p>\n
