San Francisco FlameThrowers: 2017 AUDL Champions

The San Francisco FlameThrowers earned their first American Ultimate Disc League title with a 1-goal win in the AUDL championship.

San Francisco finished in first place in the AUDL West South Division then won the West Division Championship game - their very first postseason win and their first Division title - to advance to the AUDL Championship Weekend in Montreal.

In the major Quebec city, the FlameThrowers won their Saturday semifinal 23-19 over Madison and then played a rematch of the AUDL Cross-Coast Challenge by facing Toronto Rush in Sunday's final. Down by 2 after the first quarter, San Francisco FlameThrowers won AUDL VI by the score of 30-29 (16's halftime). The Championship Game MVP for Toronto Rush was Ben Burelle; FlameThrowers, Grant Lindsley.

With Sunday's win...
