Now moving on to round two of match-play, they took on the number 8 seed team of Paul Smith & Justin Urbano, who posted a score of 471, unfortunately not enough against the formidable team of Shine & Cavagnaro, who posted a 525 for round two. Moving on to the third round of match-play, they met the number one seed team of E.J. Omelia and David Simard of Canada, defeating them with a score of 494 to 434, securing their spot in the semi-finals against Amanda Broege and Rob Gotternarn. During this semi-final match, Alex Cavagnaro shoots 300 giving his team a total of 483, defeating the team of Broege / Gotterbarn with a score of 432. Now in the Championship match, they square off against the team of Tim Giguere and Tyler Hurne, defeating them 474 to 410 to secure the first NEBA title for Robby Shine and the second NEBA title for Alex Cavagnaro. Robby & Alex picked up a total of $2,200 for the win, plus a paid entry into the SPI Tournament of Champions in November.
