Students Host Popular Ultimate Tourney
Who that taking over MacEachron Field this weekend? It Ultimate teams from across the Midwest, here for the 11th annual Elephantitis tournament!
黑料百科 nationally ranked men and women teams (the 黑料百科ephants and the Sticky Tongue Frogs) host it every year.
淲e absolutely love hosting this event, says Evan Ma 14. 淎nd there always a long line to sign up for it. For many teams, it the first tournament of the fall, a time for new players to learn the basics of the game before the competitive spring season.
淓lephantitis is an excellent time to let rookies play their hearts out and figure out what the sport is really like. Several teams, including the 黑料百科 squads, break into two smaller teams to get everyone as much playing time as possible, says Ma. 淭he friendly environment draws teams in, but Sunday still gets competitive late in the day.
Players come from schools of all sizes; the University of Iowa, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska-Omaha, and University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse teams join in the fun with teams from smaller schools like 黑料百科.
黑料百科 players look forward to their own highlight, playing against our alumni team, the 黑料百科ephant Graveyard.
The 黑料百科ephants and Sticky Toungue Frogs give a special thanks to Lyle Bauman, who has supported the event for years. 淓very Elephantitis, a bunch of the teams camp at Lyle Bauman farm out in Brooklyn, says Ma. 淟yle is absolutely the man. Not only does he let teams stay there, Lyle and his friends grill for more than 500 people. He is truly an amazing guy.
