Recently, Betty traveled to Northfield, MN for Exit 69 and Fayetteville, AR for the 18th Annual Harvest Moon. At Exit 69, Betty had a solid showing on Saturday. We finished 2nd in our pool. On Sunday, we faced some nasty weather early in the morning, but still got the W in our first game. Unfortunately, we lost in semi-finals to Carleton A. It was a strong showing for a Kansas team with many new girls, and it was a great chance to play new teams that aren’t in our region. Harvest Moon was a bit different this year than in past years for our team. Based on numbers, we decided to go for a 2nd bid and got it. We spilt our team X/Y, but we lost some of our numbers before the tourney leaving us with small teams. Luckily, Washington University Women’s Ultimate had a roster that they wanted to cut down, so each Betty team picked up 4 WUWU girls. Harvest is a costume tournament, so we made the most of it! One team was Betty evolution, while the other was Betty creationism during play on Saturday. As for Saturday night, we were a dance crew ready to bust our moves all over the dance floor (and that’s exactly what we did). Overall, it was a really fun tournament and everyone got significant playing time and an opportunity to learn more about their game. Our next tourney is on November 15-16 in Columbia, MO. The tourney is called Missouri Loves Company, and it should be an excellent end of the fall season tournament with teams from all over the North and South competing. October 1, 2008 The Bettys' first tournament of the year, Sectionals, was held September 27-28, 2008 here in Lawrence, KS. Good job to everybody who came out to play or support the team. You can find a link to view pictures from the tournament on the website here and the fall schedule has been updated. The next tournament, Exit 69, is October 5-9 in Northfield, MN. Also, practices are still held at Shenk Sports Complex at 23rd and Iowa from 4pm to 7pm. Anybody is welcome to attend. August 19, 2008 There will be an informational meeting for anyone who wants to learn more about ultimate at the Rec Center Media Room (202/203) on Tuesday, September 2 at 8:45 pm. Bring your KU ID to get into the Rec. Also, the first practice will be at Shenk Sports Complex at 23rd and Iowa on Tuesday, August 26 from 4pm to 7pm. If you are unable to attend the info meeting or first practice, and are still interested in coming out to practice, we'd love to hear from you! Contact Jing at jzjian@ku.edu. |
