I think it is fair to say that every team on the list is a threat. They're all good. But Madlax is tops. They just won HoCo championship and they're the only team that beat every team this Spring. Madlax went 3-0 against Bethesda. Madlax beat T9d1 solidly. That is the game where Madlax was winning by 5 or 6 goals and T9d1 coach lost it. Madlax beat BL in March, but BL gave them a good game. I think it was a 1 goal game. Madlax's only loss this Spring was against Hawks. I am told it was a fluky 1 goal loss during Spring break and they were missing their best scorer. While the Hawks have some talented offense, the championship game really wasn't that close. Madlax was winning 5-1 when it gave up a small run at end of first half. But then they jumped back to a three goal lead and killed clock most of the second half.
