Team History:
A rare landmark in women's ultimate was achieved this Fall. A team was conceived in July and qualified for nationals by October. In four months, Strike unearthed an inspiring chemistry of youth and maturity, speed and patience, daring and poise and remarkable spirit. Audaciously, they established a goal to qualify for nationals. Strike has benefited from the local women's winter league, the support of sister-team Ozone, and a strong goaltimate league in Atlanta - all of which helped cultivate this feisty roster of 18. Strike began practice in August and set off for its first tournament in Savannah. Under the Spanish moss, they won their debut appearance and promptly shotgunned the trophy with gusto. At Tune-Up, Strike welcomed the first truly competitive trial. They suffered loss for the first time and took some hard knocks of losing a few, key one-point-games, but returned to Atlanta with new experiences and passion. Next on the agenda was Regionals, where they had a significant challenge to beat Texas competitors, Buttercup and Zanzara. The big weekend arrived and butterflies danced. Saturday proved to be joyful as Strike went undefeated in pool play and upset Buttercup, 10-7. On Sunday, Zanzara was the next battle and Strike avenged their loss at Tune-up by winning 13-9. Losing to Ozone in the finals, Strike faced Buttercup again in the “game to go” and prevailed with a 14-8 victory. With Strike reaching its goal, they're looking forward to the sunshine, scenery, and opportunity to play with the country's finest.
