Spring League Tournament

Derrick and I are very active in local ultimate. This past weekend was the culmination of a ~10 week spring league season. In league you sign up as individuals or pairs and your name gets thrown in a draft. You play with a different group of people each season and compete in a weekly game with a two day tournament ending the season. This year we were drafted to team Hydra! We hadn't played with many of the people on this team before so it was great to meet new players in the area. Spring league is typically a little more laid back but it's one of my favorite leagues because of the weather. For the most part it was sunny and breezy...perfect ultimate weather!

Poor Derrick got officially diagnosed with a partially torn rotator cuff two weeks ago so unfortunately he couldn't play the last two weeks of the season or the tournament. He was the number one pick on our team and was a huge loss. Our friend and wHagonweel teammate Joey stepped in and took his place for the tournament. We definitely missed having Derrick on the field but I'm glad we got to replace him with someone we knew and enjoyed playing with.

We did not win a game the entire season. We had lots of close games but no wins. We always claimed we were saving it up for the tournament and we did just that! We started the tournament last in our pool and beat the number one seed in the first game on Saturday. We ended Saturday with 2 wins and 1 loss. Sunday morning we won our quarters game and headed to Semis. It was a close game but we ended up losing in Semis.

Hydra was super fun to play with and it was exciting to end our losing season with three good wins! Here's a team photo!
