Wow. So Sectionals came and went- quick as that. Sectionals champs once again :) And it feels good to be back there. That being said, we have a lot we need to take away from this weekend
-close games happen to all teams. looking at the other sectionals results I'm seeing that almost across the board. Cal, Iowa State, etc.
-you can learn from those situations. In our case, I would say we need to remember and IMPLEMENT playing at our level at all times and valuing every team. you can't take for granted that you're going to win. It still takes work, whether you're the best or not.
-focusing on your personal game is important. I am proud of how I played at Sectionals, despite the things going wrong as a team unit. It was great that my parents got to come watch me play for the last time in my collegiate career.
-When you see mistakes/errors happening take the time to PICK YOUR TEAMMATES UP. You don't want to be that person bringing the energy or vibe of your team down. Take the time to tell someone whose head is hanging what you liked about their last point on the field- and be GENUINE.
-be a better sideline. Everyone. Always. Can improve this.
So, Melee definitely, undoubtedly did not play our best ultimate at Sectionals. We went to ultimate point against UNT who (thanks to coach Paul who hails from Iowa) played as a TEAM for the first time ever in the series. Yes, they've played in the series before but true kudos to them for actually coming together. Their work ethic improvement showed. Then, got to play our B team in what was a REALLY FUN game and seeing their improvement was a pleasure. Then, Texas State. So, finals next day. Played A&M. Their (fabulously talented) captain Meredith (you may know her from Showdown) took the game off (after beating Rice in ultimate point at the end of Saturday) to rest up for Regionals. Though they put up a good fight, 14-9 final score (after a 10 minute or so ordeal where my teammate ran head first in to a METAL SOCCER GOAL. DUMB. we need true ULTIMATE FIELDS. no line painting. just made for that purpose. hah I can dream. She is alive and well, sans concussion and going to rock a harry potter-esque scar from her 32 stitches).
Not peaking at Sectionals is a good thing. But we are going to have to play our game every game ALL WEEKEND at Regionals. Winning the pool in order to have the more desirable format Sunday would be ideal. However, I truly believe we can beat every team at the tournament. We just have to focus. From what I've seen, when/if we have poorer games it is NEVER something the other team is doing. And that fact alone is why I think we could do major damage at Nationals this year. Because there isn't a team out there that can stop us when we're playing our best. It's just a matter of making sure we are strong enough to keep it together ourselves. And those other top contenders out there are the same way. The mental game is the name of the game for Women's Ultimate 2012.
I have two weeks until my last assignment for grad school is due this semester. But worst case scenario my college career ends in four days. That is insane. We have to go out with a bang. And no regrets. Melee Love!

Going in to the Series
Well, it's mid-April and in one week Sectionals will be ending. Then we will be one week from REGIONALS. The weekend that determines it all. Wow.
Looking back on five years of college ultimate.. is pretty crazy to think about. All the people I met and fell in love with that I would never have known if it weren't for this sport. All the places I got to go that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. There are so many things that Ultimate opened me up to that cross country, elite soccer, and the other sports in my past would never have been able to.
I try to imagine next year.. writing my thesis and finishing grad school without playing college ultimate. It's the weirdest feeling to imagine having those 15 or so hours a week (with travel weekends averaged in there) back and using it for something else. And it's bizarre! I almost don't know what I will feel next year. These girls have become my best friends. Obviously.
The part where I know that everyone moves on.. people move out of state, etc. It makes it easier. Knowing I will be in Austin one final year is nice because I can still be supportive and involved and help out a lot (especially if the team wants me around :)) will make that transition just a little bit easier.
Since I'm so future-oriented: looking ahead I think Ultimate will always be with me. I want to do my fellowship in an area with a decent frisbee scene (Colorado? North Carolina?) and good club options for me. I think, though Melee is on the national level, some of the girls were not meant to always play frisbee. You see it every year- some of the seniors continue on and others walk away. I think I can safely say I will be playing several years from now (as long as my old-lady body lets me), and coaching younger players and helping increase opportunities for women's ultimate are two things very close to my heart. I can't wait to see how frisbee (especially women's) will grow in the next decade.
In two weeks I will know if I get an extra month of college ultimate. Fingers crossed. I've had some heartbreaker endings to seasons and at the end of last year I just told myself "I want to walk away from my last game at regionals knowing that was the best we could have done and that there's nothing I would change." Let's hope that holds true. Melee can do this. Together.

Post-Centex!
Whoops. Must have dropped the ball on blogging about Nashville.. but on to the next
CENTEX! Wow. So pool play we saw UCF (won in universe), UCLA (lost in universe) then UNC (who won out.. we were all in our own heads during that game sheesh). Appreciated all the sideline love and just sorry we didn't gel better Saturday. Didn't have to play the crossover D2 game.
SUNDAY (today) was magical. We had a rough start this morning, not quite awake enough to beat UCSB (13-11) at 8:15 am. When we were on, we were on- and our offense looked worlds better than Saturday. We were happy to find out they ended up in the finals.. if someone had to knock us out they sure as heck better make it count
Then we saw Colorado College- happy to see someone else from the region (I see that Wash U and A&M, despite some losses won out after their morning games too). Beat them solidly. Enjoyed their positive energy, and I found their coach particularly pleasant.
Then, Carleton College. Our old pals from Pres Day! They're an aggressive, fit team but we had the energy and the chemistry and had another sold win there by a few. Our coaches don't keep us too informed on the score. I enjoyed my matchup on one of their captains and another handler in particular. Lots of calls, but generally spirited.
Finally, Stanford! It's been years since I've played Stanford but I thought they were a pretty fit team. We were on again though and finished 13-9 over them after easing off our intensity some after being up 8-4 at half.
Moral of the story- a LOT of the elite teams are in it. No one is a lock for finals at nationals. I maintain a lot can happen between now and the end of May. Melee's in agreement we have not peaked. I can't wait to see what we're capable of. We've got our regionals flights booked and I'm hoping for Boulder baby.
I housed UCF this weekend.. hadn't seen them since losing to them at CCC in the fall but they're a sweet team with a love of ultimate.
Got to see my buddy Christy from Kansas and enjoyed their Centex dance (among others) during Danceoff.
Gaps & the Iowa State ladies found themselves our Centex champs! We will see what changes in the coming weeks but I think they're another highly athletic team.
Fitness and drive are two of the big factors common amongst the majority of the top 12 or so teams in it in my mind right now. The women's division is wide open. Therefore, it's ours for the taking if we work for it :)
Sad to see my last Centex come and go. Our Centex Board dinner tonight was delicious and I can't wait to take on a bigger admin/day-of role post-eligibility alongside Michelle next year- shoutout to TOOL. i love her. you love her. she's changing women's ultimate as we know it

WOW PRES DAY.
Three days in California with great weather (as opposed to all the UT chums at mardi gras over the weekend).. wow is all i can say.
We were missing alexe this weekend with an ear infection and amy made the trip out there sat-sun but we really had a fantastic weekend, despite missing Tina the whole time!
We went 3-1 saturday. beating Humboldt, Claremont and UCLA then losing to UCSB. Red zone conversion and de-line offense was the name of that game and we've got a lot to improve on but what we saw was so promising! Hannah was out with a concussion and I pulled my hamstring.
Sunday we went 2-1 beating UCSD and Colorado with a good point diff. losing 11-12 to Sonoma. I wasn't concussed but sat out a while so can't say much about the middle of the game, but we finished strong and know what we need to work on.
Monday (today) we beat Humboldt again first thing then went 12-9 over Carleton (after they got a forfit in to our game). It was awesome! 7-2 finish on the weekend. A lot of amazing plays by everyone and a lot of things we know we can improve on :)
This weekend made me appreciate my health.. antibiotics kicked in and new inhaler worked wonders. I am looking forward to playing my next tournament NOT after having to go a week without cardio.
Melee. Is love. And this weekend was mindblowing to witness. Five years in the program and this is chemistry like I've never seen. Can't wait to play some more! But grad school and a shower are calling my name.
This blog was rushed. But it was fun to return home to emails about Centex.. and a lot of teams cheering "See you at Centex" has everyone's energy high!

Weekend Accomplished!
So, we return from Houston Anti-Freeze 7-0 victors! :)
This tournament was a sectionals-esque competition (with Rice, A&M, UTA, UNT, Texas-B, OU and Tulane) hosted at Rice.
Saturday pool play we saw UTA (13-1), UNT (13-1) and OU (13-4) (whose captain is a chum of mine and it was great to see her playing fantastic!) and our crossover at the end of the day was against Rice (the one seed on the other side of the bracket so I guess they just did that formatting for fun) who we were down 7-6 at half to and came back with a vengeance scoring 7 in a row in the second half to finish it 13-7. We heard a rumor that Tulane had beat Rice in Universe point earlier in the morning and we had just seen Rice finish 13-6 over A&M. Interesting.
Sunday morning "quarters" were against pre-assigned teams so we saw our B-team buddies who played great, learned a lot, and scored one on us by skying one of our players downfield before throwing the score :)
Semis we played Tulane (though I still don't understand why we didn't play A&M here) whose captain does a great job organizing her team and playing balls out and they put up 4 points against us.
Finals against Rice (after they again beat A&M 13-6) we scored the first break to start the game, but gave it right back to them a couple points later. We traded then started to pull away toward the end of the half. Second half they scored two or three on us but we still managed to finish the game 13-7 again.
The "tournament prize" mentioned on the web site were delicious iced sugar cookies.
Takeaways from the weekend:
nice fields, though their placement and setup may not have been as logical as one would think.
good sat night dinner burritos and i ate four donuts. yes four.
it's nice to stay for free at tournaments!
it would have been nice to see a&m with their full squad so it'll be good to play them sooner rather than later if possible.
winning a tournament with even subbing feels really good- and EVERYONE gets a chance to make truly standout plays.
thanks to Tool for putting on the skills clinic, the B-team girls especially got to learn a lot to apply towards their Sunday play.
it was good to see some friends that came to watch us: shoutout to Whitney and her husband, Ash, Erin and Lynn!
maybe it's just because i'm old and wise but de seems a lot more natural this season!
and running all our new defenses was really great for getting our team communicating and keeping the sideline engaged. lots of hand signals whoo!
that's all. gotta get back to grad school/clinic/life kicking my butt til practice tonight and do it all again

Hello 2012!
Okayyyy so 2012 is here. Thus, the last couple months of college ultimate for me have arrived. buttt there's a lot to be happy about!
We had our first practice back tonight, Tina (of showdown) and Amy K (of happy hour) were there to coach us during our newly-lengthened practice for the evening!
The B team had 14 girls and both their coaches made it out so that was great to see too! We did some fitness and cooled down together so I'm glad we got some bonding time in.
We did some work on zone since it was windy as heck and cold as all get out. But it was a good time! Good to see everyone (or most everyone) kept up with the winter workouts and were able to make it through everything in one piece :)
Both teams are gearing up for a fun sectionals-level competition tournament in the form of Houston Anti-Freeze in two weekends.
We've also got a mini camp this weekend! So, we will be back in frisbee mode in no time.
I've got a wedding and a luncheon this weekend sadly after the mini camp dates got changed so i HATE missing saturday after being so excited to spend as much time as possible with my team but guess i can deal!
Really fun to see all the frisbee ladies again. Truly an amazing group of women. Love them. endlessly.

The Fall is Ending
Well, the final semester of college ultimate is fast-approaching (for me, not the world..)
This semester Melee played Harvest Moon, where we ended up going 3-1 on Saturday (we had a brain freeze/inability to de blady throws). Then, lost a close one to A&M first thing Sunday knocking us out of the (poorly designed) single elim. championship bracket.. SO i constructed my own consolation bracket for the knocked out championship bracket teams on sunday where we won out and finished approximately fifth overall. good times can always be had in costume :)
we went as zoo animals.. i was a penguin of course! they're the best.
We also played at CCC in Conyers, GA (nice to not have to drive all the way out to athens!!!) and the weather was good (ended up in short sleeves both days and tight-less).
We went 2-1 on Saturday, solidfying our appearance in the Championship bracket and crushing our "9th seed" coming in. After our loss to Michigan we learned you have to finish games. Being down two after half getting to start on O we were perfectly poised to strike back. I like knowing what we were able to do against last year's Nationals finalists. We lost first thing Sunday to a Florida team who I will concede caught ALL their stall nine bailout hucks. Props. Came back from being down 8-4 in our second game Sunday to win it 15-11? It was fantastic! Then, lost by a few in the 5th place game to Virginia with no legs left.
Playing with even subbing was an important part of the Fall season for our team. Finishing 6th at CCC this year given we were the only ones doing even subbing in the champ bracket is totally fine with me. We grew a lot. Everyone learned they have a role to fill. Not to mention, all 17 people that went out to the tournament had one (or more) ridiculously sick plays. These include: hand blocks, layout hammer catches, skies, etc.
We need to nurse our injuries and take better care of our bodies. Our team as a whole does a poor job of that. We need to up our fitness yet again.. winter break is the time to kick it up NOT slack off. Our winter workouts will probably be killer again this year, like always.
We've got the last week of class then our finals week. then December 13th I reclaim my sanity from grad school briefly and throw myself in to travels and fitness for the five weeks I don't have to be learning. wahoo.
I hope everyone throws a lot, runs a lot, and gives themselves the opportunity to recover both mentally and physically. We've also upped the number of hours we spend practicing in the hopes it will put us back where we need to be nationally.
This Spring is so important to me, since it's my lost shot at college nationals. I hope Melee accomplishes all it's capable of and that we don't fall short of the prize this year. From what I saw at CCC this will be another one of those seasons where the teams in the finals have worked hard and pushed through but there's no clearly dominant force. I think it'll be up for grabs again like last year.
College ultimate is an experience you only get once. I hope no one takes it for granted. Having captained on the coed club level, it's completely different. The women we play with in college are friends for life. I hate every time they graduate, and I'm about to join their ranks.

ps the B team this year is a smaller group than it has been the past couple of years but they're dedicated and that's all it takes. I hope they have some success recruiting going in to next semester and that the number that stay on in to next year is bigger than from last year. The depth of a program is really important for the development of both the A and the B team.
