They won it! And in doing so they foiled West Point's bid to repeat last year’s success in the Icebreaker. The Wreckers put to- gether a three game un- beaten streak in the championship double- knockout round to ad- vance to the Sunday, May 10 final, For West Point, their op- ponents in the big-money showdown, outscoring SKB also meant evening tie score, The Wreckers had ear- lier handed West Point its only loss of the championship round.
