The DC Breeze pulled away in the final minutes to beat the New York Empire yesterday, 28-25. The Empire (2-4) went on a 5-1 run late in the 3rd quarter to overcome a 19-15 deficit and tie the game at 21, but the Breeze (5-2) found another level of effort from that point and would not give up another break in the game.
Getting back in winning form was key for the D.C. Breeze over the weekend. With the 23-20 win over the Montreal Royal, the Breeze are now in a tie with the Toronto Rush for first in the East. Due to a tie in head-to-head record (1-1) and the Breeze’s point differential, the Breeze lead the division. In this win, the Breeze (4-2) had some old (and new) faces on track. Early…
Things did not go well for the DC Breeze in their first trip north of the border this season. Falling to the Toronto Rush 26-20 for the seventh time in a row on the road, the Breeze still have never solved the division champs in Toronto and have dropped to second place in the AUDL East standings.
The DC Breeze fell to the Toronto Rush Saturday night, 26-20, in a story all too familiar despite the team’s recent success at home against the 4-time division champions. The Breeze are now 0-7 lifetime on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Once again it was another nail-biting finish between the D.C. Breeze and the New York Empire. With a 22-21 victory, it was the fourth consecutive regular season 1-point win by the Breeze over the Empire. The win propels DC (3-1) to sole possession of first place in the East.
The DC Breeze beat the New York Empire Saturday night, May 6 at Gallaudet University in another down-to-the wire finish between two of the top teams in the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL). The 22-21 final score marked the fifth victory in a row for the Breeze over their biggest rival, with four of those five games decided by just 1 point including two double overtimes.
Returning back to division play, the D.C. Breeze needed to find consistency with a tough stretch of the schedule on deck for the team. They had a great opportunity to do so Saturday as they returned home to face the Ottawa Outlaws; a team that has yet to be a threat but always provides solid competition with two 7-7 seasons so far.
Matching his career high in goals, Tyler Monroe had yet another stellar performance for the DC Breeze at Hotchkiss Field Saturday night. With seven goals and five assists, Monroe could not be stopped by the visiting Ottawa Outlaws as the Breeze cruised to a 29-24 win.
On Saturday evening the D.C. Breeze will welcome the Ottawa Outlaws to Hotchkiss field for the Breeze’s annual College Night. Coming into the contest, the Breeze (1-1) are looking to rebound after a disappointing 23-21 overtime loss to the Raleigh Flyers last weekend.
Podcast host Greg Esser sits with veteran Chuck Cantone to discuss the Breeze opening day victory over Toronto, the Richmond Craft Brew Scene, and the transition of leadership this year in Montréal.
