The first AUDL Power Rankings of 2017 were released yesterday, with little change at the top from last season’s final rankings and a log jam officially declared at the top of the East Division. The rankings are led by #1 Dallas and #2 San Francisco, the latter back in front of Madison thanks to all the new signings after falling to 3rd at the end of 2016. The Breeze find themselves at #6.
Thanks for everything, Breeze Fans!!! 2016 was a memorable year for the DC Breeze as the team completed its 4th AUDL season in 2nd place, its highest ever finish. Along the way the Breeze went 2-1 in double OT thrillers and earned the first regular season victory ever by a U.S. based team over 4-time defending Division champions Toronto Rush.
Somewhere under the rainbow last Saturday night the Breeze found what it took to secure their first playoff win in franchise history, prevailing 24-20 over the talented and determined New York Empire at Gallaudet University in DC.
