HELLOOOOOOO Saucers,
Greetings! Welcome to the 2019/20 Saucy Nancy Season! This past weekend we took a trip up to Ames for a two-day Ames to Please! Now, this wasn’t our first tournament of the season, but our social media chair forgot to write the blog post for Grinnell, so we’re gonna act like it is. Anyways. ATP was a riot. Our rookies? Amazing. Each one of them played like they were crafted by the Ultimate gods. Our vets? Also fire. It didn’t feel like our second tournament. The team communicated well, played well, and looked even better. Our first day we started against probably the hardest team to start against – the Minnesota Ninjas. They played a great game, and the end result wasn’t in our favor, but we played awesome against them. Betsy got a face block, but the moneymaker is still lookin’ good. We then played Drake Ibex. They were a super fun team to play, and they gave us a good competition. The final score ended up 13-2 to us. At this point in the day, we were all muddy, the rain had stopped and started at least three times, and Wren still had the most energy on the team. The last game of the day we played against Winona State Bad Monaz. They played a great game, and we learned so much from them. At some point in the day, Bex threw a hammer for the score, and she and Bridget now have the highest hammer completion rates of 100%. The second day started off absolutely freezing. There was frost on the ground, I couldn’t feel my toes, life was great. The first game of the day we played the Kansas Bettys. They’re always a great team to play, and we all had a super fun game. Hucatitis came out to watch part of our game, and it was super nice because I love team bonding (#hucsauce). Then, there was a slight issue with the fields, and we couldn’t play on them anymore. But, in true spirit of the game, we moved to a local park and resumed there. The second game we played Minnesota B. They put up a great fight, but we came out on top, and the final score was 9-5. Then, to end the weekend with a bang, we played Scorn. Our old rivals, our old friends. This game probably had the highest energy I've seen all weekend. Plus, the wind picked up, making it hard for both teams. The entire game, people were interacting on the sidelines with someone from the other team, and it made my old heart very happy to see. They ended up taking the game, but we all had a great time, and it was a super good game to end the tournament with. Here are some takeaways from the weekend: our rookies are all collectively on beast mode, our vets look like pros, and if this tournament is anything to go by, we’ve got a hell of a season ahead of us. Until next time, Dopey
