This past weekend, Saucy took a trip to Ames for a one-day tournament. We saw friends, played some ultimate frisbee, and had an overall great time.
After our first game bye, we played Anarchy. The weather was pretty nice out-not too sunny, not to cloudy, maybe a little chilly, but not awful (keep this in mind for later). We decided to test out our zone defense on another team and it went really well, boding well for our tournament this weekend. Each point posed a new challenge, but our team rose to the occasion and knocked it out of the park, ending the game with a score of 12-3 after hard cap. Our next game was against UNI Monium. They were testing out their zone on us just as we were testing our zone out on them, so it was a good learning experience for us. The wind started to pick up quite a bit, making zone the best option for us anyway (remember this for later). They ended up beating us with a final score of 7-13, but we learned a lot about the way we play zone and had a good time testing out our skills against another team. Our third game of the day was against Iowa State. By this time, rain was starting to come down in bursts (will make sense later), so we really had to adjust. We kept practicing our zone and the score was close; 6-7 Iowa State at halftime, but every point was hard fought. In fact, our first two points were scored by layouts, first by veteran handler Claire Meyer and then by rookie cutter Olivia Schuster (anyone can layout!!). We hit hard cap a minute into a tied score, making the race for the 9th point the most vital one. Coach Peter Shayman told the sidelines that it was a universe point, but told us to keep it a secret so as to not stress out the line. With the players not quite grasping the gravity with every possession, it was probably the best sideline participation we’ve ever had. We finally scored and beat Iowa State 9-8 three minutes after we were supposed to start our last and final game of the tournament against UNI again. By this point in the tournament, we were all cold, exhausted and winded out, but we still played our strongest game and kept going for each and every point. We ended the day with frozen toes and a 1-7 final score after our captains decided to only play one half. As we all piled back in the cars for the end of the day, some people swear they saw flurries (yup this is the part you were supposed to remember all that other stuff for). I personally think it was cold, misty rain, but who knows. It did seem to be a day for change and new challenges, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Also, we (I) may have accidentally left the camera in Iowa City, but it’s fine because modern technology exists and we were still able to get some pretty groovy shots (for more pictures, check out Tamara Tingle’s Facebook photo album). Thanks to everyone who made it a great tournament!
