6ixers win women’s title at Select Flight Invite East in Ohio

6ixers left Select Flight Invite East with the women’s title in Sylvania, Ohio, after outlasting a 20-team field that ended with Dimes second, Iris third and Starling fourth. The No. 1 seed in Pool A also did the early work cleanly, going 2-0 in pool play and setting up a weekend that confirmed 6ixers could carry top billing all the way through the bracket.

The final table tells the bigger story. Heist, Stella, Vengeance, Magma and Nemesis filled out places five through nine, with Agency, Siege, Pizza Rat, Stellar and Shiver behind them. Brooklyn Book Club, Indy Rogue, Wicked, Zephyr, Sureshot and Lake Erie Walleye rounded out the lower half of the standings, a spread that shows how little separation there was once teams got past the top few spots. Vengeance, the No. 6 seed, went 1-1 in pool play, a useful snapshot of how unforgiving the event was even before the later rounds tightened.

That depth matters because Select Flight Invite East is built to measure teams against a broader national field, not just the usual regional neighbors. 6ixers’ win in a full 20-team women’s bracket is the kind of result that tends to travel, especially with Dimes and Iris right behind them. Iris and Starling finished third and fourth in Ohio, and both names also show up in the same cluster from the 2023 Northeast Women’s Regional Championship, where 6ixers were third, Iris fourth, Starling fifth, Siege sixth and Brooklyn Book Club seventh. That kind of overlap is a strong sign that the upper tier in this part of the women’s club scene is not settled, but it is familiar.

There is also recent regional context that makes the 6ixers result hard to dismiss. In the 2025 Great Lakes Women’s Regional Championship, 6ixers finished first and Nemesis second, with both teams earning select-flight status for 2026. Indy Rogue, Lake Erie Walleye and Sureshot also landed in that select group, and all three showed up again in the lower half of the SFI East standings. That is what a real pecking order looks like: the same programs keep appearing near one another, and the margins are decided by who handles the pressure points over multiple games.

The broader women’s club picture was already crowded, with Fury, Scandal, Brute Squad, BENT and Molly Brown sitting atop USA Ultimate’s July 22 rankings. Against that backdrop, 6ixers’ title in Ohio reads as more than a weekend trophy. It is a clean marker that the team is tracking toward the sharper end of the season, and the names stacked behind them suggest the path ahead will stay just as demanding.
