Tonight's Tryouts Cancelled

Straight from Peter Dempsey's mouth:

"As you probably guessed, the fields are closed tonight so we will not be having the final night of tryouts tonight. Please stay tuned to find out what the plans are from this point forward. Note: we will not be doing anything Thursday night, so don't worry about your GA/FLA plans..."

Southerns Classic Recap

This weekend, we had 11 tryouts come down with some of the veterans to play in Statesboro, GA at the Southerns Classic. This tournament gave us a chance to see how these rookies play in game situations, and it showed our veterans things they need to work on.

On Saturday, we beat FSU-B, Ga Tech B, South Florida, and Texas A&M. The most entertaining game of Saturday happened against Texas A&M, as a gentle rain fell over the IM fields, providing "layout weather." It was a sloppy game (a lot of drops), but the defensive intensity was above average.

On Sunday, we beat Auburn and then lost a close one to South Carolina. The South Carolina game saw us go down 0-3 and at one point 11-6 before bringing it to 14-12. The first half looked abysmal as our offensive team got broken and our defense didn't want to put in the effort. The second half was another story, as we got back in the game and made it close, especially when South Carolina only had one more goal to score. We made defensive adjustments, we picked up our intensity on the field and sidelines, and we started generating breaks. In the end, South Carolina over Georgia 15-12.

Overall, we learned a lot about what we need to work on as a team. Thank you pre-rooks for making the trip. There will be an update soon on the last day of Tryouts.

Tryout Day 2

Tuesday's tryouts were great. Thank you to everyone who came out. If you were not invited back, I encourage you to stay with ultimate and tryout for the B team. I will announce the B team tryouts later when the times are made known. I played on the B team my freshman year, and my experience with them made me passionate about the sport and inspired me to become a better player.

Tonight's tryout is an invitation-only tryout.

The tryout starts tonight at 7pm and go to 10pm. They are at the Club Sports Complex. Look forward to seeing everyone there.
