<p>The [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Wilde team. They have now won 33 of 37 games this season. They won five games this past weekend beating the best two teams from North Dakota and then beating WCU for the fourth time this season to earn back to back weekend titles. </p>

<p>WOTN Erickson has been a bit under the radar playing in smaller events. They came into the Silver Championship Bracket and crushed everybody. None of the games were close. They would be a ranked team but I haven't seen the results from earlier in the year to get them into the rankings. Big first impression! </p>
