Well we’re onto the second round, where the apples truly distinguish themselves.
Here’s the matchup
(4) Cortland
v.
(5) Fiji
Fiji made it out of the out-bracket by demolishing (12) Red Delicious in the first round (as is right) setting up a tough matchup against a darkhorse candidate in Cortland
Cortland barely edged out Fiji to take the last first round bye in the tournament. In terms of rankings, it was pretty all over the board, but a first place vote kept Cortland in the top four.
