SOL's Fall 2010 Premiere at Hucktoberfest


SOL made its 2010 Fall premiere at Hucktoberfest this past weekend. With Traci's sick layout and Beef's first Callahan ever, SOL had an explosive start to the season. Our newbies were making sick cuts and a few were even handling!! SOL ended the tournament weekend at 4-3.


SOL has been working hard this week with practice and conditioning to prepare for No Wisconsequences!

Layout! Layout! Layout SOLmates Layout!!



Sol had its first layout practice of the season last week Thursday. We got those newbies to jump in every puddle on that field! Little did we know that very rain would flood the Chip...












Even our beloved captains got their, well, entire bodies dirty! By the end of practice everyone was smiling with the satisfaction of getting as muddy as possible. As we all know, the weather here is unpredictable, but SOL will always practice in no matter what Mother Nature throws at us!

8 days until Hucktoberfest, our first tournament of the season!

SOL's First Fall Practice

Hey Ladies!

The blog hasn't been updated in a while - but we have things to talk about now that the season has started up again!

Tonight's practice was awesome. We had 24 new ladies show up who were super excited about ultimate. Throwing was the lesson of the day and we had more throwing better flicks than us old folks did the first time :) Our three new captains did a bomb diggity job of planning practice and keeping the flow going. Returners showed some great leadership, helping our newbies with throwing and cutting.

Now starts the 1 month countdown to our first tournament, Hucktoberfest!

Coming soon: An introduction to the new/returning ladies of SOL for the 2010-2011 season!

Where in the world is SOL?!?

In the words of our beloved captain Brit Gartner, "Oh whassup!!".


Due to our lack of posting action, we've decided to bring you a
little sumthin' sumthin' about SOL's current summer endeavors.

The quick, cuddly, caring Pat Niles, a.k.a. Daddy Pat is
travelling abroad with the Chad Larson Experience to play
Worlds against some of the most prestigious ultimate
teams in the universe. After he finishes up with that, he will
return to play with Drag'n Thrust for summer tournaments and
the USA Ultimate fall series.


Three of our former SOLmates, hb city Anna Hettler, angry
elf Martha Harris, and with hams like Christmas dinner
Robyn Fennig are playing with Drag'nThrust. Joining them
is the magnificent, spectacular, fast, super awesome,
Melissa "George" Jordan!! The women on this team are going
to be ridiculous. If you ever feel overwhelming amounts of
heat at tournaments near you this summer,
it's main source is fire from the mouths of dragons thrusting.



The best roommate ever/pump up machine Brit Gartner, is playing
with Minnesota's POP women's team. She will be traveling with them
looking to kick ass and tool some hoes. In other words, they are
hoping to bring it at Nationals again this year.



Three newbies, insightful spunkalicious Emy, peppy uptight Beef,
and the angry hammer throwing Nottie (newly appointed nickname),
are playing with a new women's team in Minnesota sponsored by the
lovely Surly Brewing Company. In other words, if you want free beer,
these are the girls you want to find at tournaments this summer,
a.k.a. MUDI, Heavyweights, and Cooler Classic.


The jumpin' jivin' Jess "Holla" Haller, is playing with a
new mixed team called Hexxus. They are the new face of
ultimate pollution.

Toxic love, baby.



With bigger layouts than the state of Texas Heather,
space cadet/most improved Mariah, and resident expert
duck caller Tracie joined a new Eau Claire mixed team
that doesn't quite have a name yet. But watch out,
they've got some great SOL girls playing for them.



Our other SOL sisters are playing full time with summer
leagues in their area.


Just keep in mind, SOL's game against Carleton at Regionals
wasn't the end. Next year we're going to come out with
our guns blazin'.


Do work SOL.



BANGARANG RUFIO.
