Halfway through the 2008-2009 ultimate season, the Northwestern Ultimate Team is stronger and more dangerous than ever; ready to make noise in the Great Lakes Region.
The team graduated just four players from its 2007-2008 squad, leaving a strong core of upperclassmen. The program was also infused with the largest rookie class in recent years. For the first time in NUT's history, we've had the numbers and dedication to sustain an A and B team.
In the fall, the A team traveled to Exit 69, No Wisconsequences and Missouri Loves Company. The B team headed to Glory Days and Fall Out.
With the winter closing in on the Chicagoland area, NUT headed inside and into the stretch run leading up to the UPA series. In early February the team traveled to fabulous Las Vegas for Cultimate's annual Trouble in Vegas tournament (above). NUT finished 6-2 overall, won the Hearts Bracket but unfortunately got knocked out of the fight for a bid to the Championship Bracket.
72 days remain before the Great Lakes Regional. Time to get back to work and make sure we are the best team we can be by that weekend in May.
