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.
