Kendra Fallon Tournament Recap

Other weekend, another tournament!
This past weekend all of Motion made the daunting trip down to San Diego. With 30 people in tote, Motion was ready to play together as one team for the first time this year.
On Day One Motion went 2-2 with losses to USC and UC Santa Barbara and wins against UCSD X and ASU. As funbassadors for 5 Ultimate we picked the most spirited player from each team to reach into our "swag bag" and pick some awesome 5 Ultimate gear. After our first full day of the tournament Motion all decided to get side cornrows to sport the next day.
Day Two Motion finished up their last pool play with a win against Long Beach putting us in 3rd place in our pool. We started our first bracket game against our long time rivals the San Diego State Gnomes and had a hard loss to them putting us in the 5th place bracket. The next game Motion played was against UCSD Y. With a victory and the most positive and spirited I have seen Motion we played a game of "Look Down, Look Up" with UCSD Y. The energy from this game carried over to our last and final game of the tournament against University of Arizona. The spirit and energy lead us to a close victory over U of A and a great end to a long weekend and a 5th place finish.
As funbassadors for 5 Ultimate and a group of women who overall love the game of Ultimate we all had an amazing weekend filled with the people we love, the sport we love to play and the opponents who love the sport just as much as we do!

This tournament was Motion's last pre-season tournament and we as a team look forward to our next two quarters and our next tournament which will be Santa Barbara Invite on January 24th and 25th.
