Sundodger and OFUDG!

These past two weekends I attended my first two ultimate tournaments of my grad school career in my bid to make the A team in my final year of eligibility. Two weekends ago we split into three teams and went up to Burlington for Sundodger, which was sort of wet and cold, just like most of the year in the area. We didn't win too many games, but played strong and finished well.

This past weekend we sent two squads down to Eugene for OFUDG. The main thing I learned was that Eugene sucked and there really isn't anything there, but the ultimate there was much better than the previous weekend and the competition was much tougher. It was another cold, wet, and windy weekend featuring lots of zone defense and some tight games. Our split squad came in second place after beating our other squad for a spot into the finals before losing to a local club/alum/pick-up/??? team. Unfortunately the tournament featured a 5+ hour drive each way to some random location in the middle of nowhere...

Here's to trying to make the A team! Tryouts coming up!
