Women’s Ultimate The Blueridge Blowout, the annual ultimate frisbee tournament held by the Nonads and the Nomads, was a success. There were 20 men’s teams and 12 woman’s teams that came to play some competitive and good spirited games. The women defeated the Clemson Tigerlilies for the first time while competing against other teams such as Elon, UNC, and the newly formed Asheville team. As always, Virginia Tech and Clemson showed their true team spirit by dressing up in costume to play. The Nonads suffered from some injuries including their captain, Stephanie Soule, who had a nose injury, and Kasey Telfer who had an eye injury. Despite the injuries during pool and championship play, the girls had a fun weekend packed with one game of ultimate after the next. -article by Kasey Telfer (Secretary)

One more meet is planned for the fall Photo submitted by Dan Wallace semester on November 19th at High Point. Scheduling and planning has begun for the spring semester and we have a lot of big things in store. We plan to attend meets at UNC, UGA and nationals at Georgia Tech. We will also be having our annual “Meet in the Mountains” on March 3rd. Following the home meet we are planning a swim-a-thon fundraiser. The money raised from the swim-a-thon will go to purchasing a starter system for home meets, and touch pads for timing. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the hospitality house. We are looking forward to finishing this semester out strong and for the big spring semester ahead. -article by Dan Wallace (Secretary)

Men’s Rugby

Last Saturday, a fired up AHO side crushed Western Carolina 83-0. AHO dominated all 80 minutes of the match, and didn’t allow Western anywhere near their try-line. It was clear from the kick-off that the hard, bruising work that AHO has been putting in over the past few weeks has been well worth it, as Western was unable to match the sheer pace and physicality that AHO produced. In the Spring, AHO joins the SRC West Rugby conference of College of Charleston, UNCC, Lander, Furman and The Citadel. -article by Harris Lewis
