World Juniors 2006 Results

2006 WFDF World Juniors Ultimate Championship Results, August 13-18, 2006, Devens, MA USA

USA Girls outlast Canada 14-13 in dramatic duel between formidable foes, Australia edges Finland for third. USA Boys win gold convincingly over Canada, 17-7; Colombia surprises the world with bronze medal win over Australia. Australians win Spirit Awards in both divisions.

Simply put, the Canada-USA Girls match was virtually a tie. After countless D-blocks on the game's final point lasting through two USA timeouts and over 25 minutes, it was clear that both teams were composed of remarkable competitors giving everything they could give. One could not have asked for more.

On the Open side (Boys), the United States looked jittery to start but the Canadians could not convert goals as US's D line proved stellar. A late spurt provided some hope for Canada, but USA was far ahead in the count.

Australia won the 20-minute hell point at 6-6 with Finland to gain enough momentum to seal the deal for third place in the Girls division. Another amazing match of willpower and heart was delivered in the Boys bronze-medal game between Australia and Colombia. Tied at 12s on universe point, neither squad could deliver the coup de grace as both teams made spectacular plays on defense. Colombia broke the 10-minute deadlock with a postcard-perfect low rising backhand huck for the game-winning goal. Like the Girls' gold medal game, one could not have asked for anything more.
