Back in March Saucy Nancy had their first spring tourney in Columbia Missouri. But sadly, it did not feel like Spring. It felt like we were playing in Antarctica. The weather was so cold that the tournament director sent us a link about the signs of hypothermia. Despite the freezing temps and crazy wind, it was my first tourney with Saucy Nancy and I experienced the values and the spirit the team brings on and off the field. We only played one day of frisbee, but it was one day of cheering, laughing, shivers, tears (from the cold) and hard work.
The first and only day we played in Columbia, we matched up against WUWU. It was my first game I was nervous, cold and excited. We played tough against them and both teams brought great vibes on and off the field. While playing everyone on the sideline and on the field were very supportive even though I was playing like a chicken with its head cut off. Our cutters made great cuts and our handlers killed it. The next game was against our biggest rival Iowa State (EW…jk). Many members of Saucy knew a lot of girls from Iowa State and it opened my eyes to the fun community Ultimate brings to everyone. The competitive environment was such a blast sadly we didn’t get the dub, but we played well against them and against the nasty wind. After Iowa v Iowa state, we played Purdue. The same energy was there against Iowa and Iowa State and I got my first D. I felt like a beast. Lastly but not least we played Wisconsin Eau Claire. We played a strong cup and had great point up and down wind. Eau Claire got a taste how spicy we can be, and we got the W. That was the last game in the freezing cold but it got hot because we played tough and spicy. At Midwest Throwdown I really saw how special Saucy Nancy was to all the players and the coaches. There is this strong community and I was so happy to be a part of it. What really made me see what Saucy was is when we danced to "We Like to Party". It was fun but serious and it made me feel like I belonged to something. A team that strives to be great, but wants to have fun at the same time. In conclusion, The Saucy Nancy Team was hot in 30-degree weather. Even though we suffered through the freezing temps, we were thriving on and off the field as a team. Midwest Throwdown made me so happy to be part of Saucy Nancy and I can’t wait for more tournaments to come. Thank You for reading my TED Talk.
