The Stories We'll tell...

At the end of this year- if we all survive- will be epic. Oregon Fall's Ultimate KickOff gave us all a run for our money, and we came out victorious. We won the tournament, going undefeated against every college team. The finals of the college division was an epic rematch against Oregon. We went up 2:0 immediately, and they answered back to tie the game at 2:0s, then it was off to the races. Oregon steamed ahead the entire (short, capped) game and took half 7-5. Somehow UW battled it out and tied it at 8's, when we were alerted from Miranda that it was suddenly universe point! All our hard fighting D had payed off.

Although we started off on D, there were three turnovers in that final point, resulting in Makayla on the goal line with no stall count and every element girl screaming 'chuck it!' She remained cool in the midst of chaos and put up a nice forehand to the corner of the endzone, over the heads of all the fugue girls on the field, into the hands of Lina, who held the disc up for a few seconds before throwing it up in the sky to celebrate the culmination of an undefeated preseason.

Element went strong at the party. Particular props to Nora and Christina for staying till the bitter end, Christina for the plungers, Marisa for pushing her boundaries and being labeled 'epic'...Heather Ann for wearing not one stich of clothes, and to Lina and Lisa because they were proud to have finally found the VIP room, after four years.
