Creighton champions 36th Annual UMC Border Battle 2016

Creighton, Nebraska triumphed again in the Upper Midwest Classic, beating out a South Dakota representative Brandon Valley 3-1 in the Sunday afternoon championship game of what turned out to be a "Border Battle". Two Minnesota finalists (Chaska and Waconia) lost out in the semi-finals.

New Ulm Gold settled for third place while the program's VFW Gold team surprised many with two victories , of which was a 2-0 upset of Sleepy Eye in the pool's fourth place playoff. The VFW team of younger players was thrown into the tournament when Rosemount dropped out at the last minute and forfeited all of its scheduled games in pool play.
