Madison looks to take back 1st against Minnesota
With a split series so far this season, Madison Radicals (9-2) will square off in the deciding series against Minnesota Windchill (8-1) tomorrow night. With each team taking a win, this game will likely decide which team takes a first round bye and home field advantage in the finals game of the Midwest division.
Madison will be welcoming back two of its core offensive handlers. Andrew Brown will help center the disc with his smooth throws and consistent offensive movement, while Tom ‘Animal’ Annen will open up the field with both his versatile throws and his cutting ability.
Madison will be without several key players, including cutters Dave Wiseman, Colin Camp and Nate Thibedeau, but returning to the offensive line will be Kevin Brown, one of Madison’s most dangerous cutters and throwers. With Ben Nelson also gone for this game, Adam Drews will be likely joining the offensive line as well, to help add a new attack angle for the Madison offense. And with Pat Shriwise playing attack sides of the disc, Madison will likely come out strong and punch in the disc early.
On the defensive end, Madison will be without longtime standout Andrew Meshnick, but still have plenty of defensive pressure. Kevin Pettit-Scantling, Mike Swain and Thomas Coolidge will head up a strong man-to-man defensive line, while Chris Wilen, Peter Graffy and Jadon Scullion will lead the charge on the Madison zone line. Brian Hart and Sterling Knoche will likely play both lines at points, switching out depending on match-ups.
Madison’s 6:00PM CST face-off against Minnesota will be the American Ultimate Disc League game of the week, live on AUDL.TV.
