Women's Ultimate Flying Disc Team Heads to Regionals for First Time

For the first time in program history, the women's Electric City Scranton Ultimate flying disc team will compete at the regional level.

The women of Electric City Scranton Ultimate team competed in a flying disc conference tournament at Haverford College on Sunday, April 14. The all-women tournament provided new and difficult competition for them, according to team member Kathryn Olafson '24, because they usually compete as a co-ed team. 

Previously unranked, the women earned a 12-7 upset over Haverford, which is ranked 6th in the nation for Ultimate flying disc teams. The Electric City Scranton Ultimate team went on to earn a 3-1 record and an opportunity to advance to the regional competition, which will be held at Swarthmore College on April 27 -28. If the team qualifies, they plan to attend the national competition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 18-20, Olafson said.
