ABOUT US

The Dirty Ladies are American University's Women's Club Ultimate Frisbee team. Based out of Washington DC, the Dirty Ladies travel to a number of different tournaments up and down the East coast. Previously the team has travelled to Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Delaware and New Jersey. A close-knit, fun-loving team, we always do our best to not only play hard and remain competitive but to also have fun on (and off) the field. This past year, we not only secured a bid to Regionals but broke seed while we were there. The coming year looks promising and we are very excited to spread the love of ultimate to the incoming freshmen!

PRACTICE FIELDS

The Dirty Ladies tend to practice on one of four fields:Tenley Campus - Located slightly behind Tenley campus this field is often squishy and requires cleats. Turf Fields - Located next to the track behind the South Side Residence Halls this field is harder than Tenley, definitely not as good for laying out and bidding. The school asks us to wear tennis shoes instead of cleats on the field.The Track - Never be afraid to get an extra track workout in! Even if there is no scheduled track workout, grab a friend and head over to improve your game!Fort Reno - Due to maintanence on Tenley Field, Fort Reno (located on the corner of Nebraska and Chesapeake is a new practice location for the Dirty Ladies.

Regionals Recap

Regionals Recap

Recap: 2011 College Women's Regionals (Atlantic Coast)
What a gorgeous weekend in Wilmington, NC. Just enough wind to keep players honest and plenty of sunshine to make spectators happy. Pool play on Saturday went according to plan except for the upset of Towson over Duke in Pool W and American over William and Mary in Pool X. Duke did arrive at the tournament without Liz Clark, but that certainly did not mean they were out of the running. Laura Manson and Laura Valt all ran a steady offense that easily broke defenses. In the game of Pleiades v. Chakra, Pleiades took half 7-0 but then Chakra went on a five point run after half against UNC’s sophisticated defense. Pleiades adjusted and went on a second run to finish out the game 13-5. In Pool X, American was establishing themselves as a team to be reckoned with during game time. American upset William and Mary with a score of 13-9 to keep them alive for a coveted National bid. If a team finished fourth in their pool, they were out of the running. Therefore, after pool play, Clemson, Richmond, William and Mary, and South Carolina were eliminated. The crossover games between the second and third place finishers in the pools were also elimination games. Unfortunately, for Wake Forest, Duke was upset by Towson and now lined up for competition in the crossover. Wake Forest, with the trusty legs of Claire O’Brien and Kennedy Wolfe, took half 8-5. Then, Duke began a comeback despite being down 9-12 at the cap. Chakra managed to tie it up at 12 all and then put the final nail in the coffin with an upwind huck from Laura Manson for the winning score. Duke would advance to quarters while Wake Forest was eliminated. During this round, American also continued their Cinderella story by upsetting the favored Charleston team. Charleston roster took a hit because of exams, but American had begun to garner a reputation for being very scrappy. American won this game 15-7....Quarters pitted UNC v. Maryland. And, although the final score was 15-2, no one would have ever guessed that by watching the game. It was a hard fought game from point one to point 17. NCSU played Duke in another quarterfinal. During this game, near the end, Melissa Gannon of NCSU sustained a horrific ankle injury. Melissa is one of NCSU’s top players and touches the disc quite a bit, so it was disheartening to see her sidelined for the remainder of that game and semis. Despite having Gannon sidelined, NCSU made it past Duke 10-7.Semis were games to go. It is such a surreal situation to have semis be a game to go, but yet not have your weekend be over with yet. Both semis proved to be relatively unexciting in regards to score. Despite layout Ds by NCSUs Jordan Schultz, UNCs offense proved to be too potent. UNCW quickly disposed of UVA as well. UNC and UNCW, without drama and without flare, secured their bids to Nationals. Thus commenced the back door games where UVA immediately met up with Maryland and NCSU met up with American. Devon Erikson of UVA had this to say about their victorious Maryland game:One of our toughest games was against Maryland on Sunday. Despite talk about having a rebuilding year, Maryland is still a talented team whom we had yet to play this season. They got a few breaks after we took an early lead, and their disruptive defense made the middle part of the game a challenge, as they brought the score to 8-7 by breaking us right after half. After that point, however, our coaches slowed the game down and helped us find our focus and pull away, winning 15-8 and earning our spot in the game to go against NC State. In my mind, I consider the Maryland game to be our toughest challenge of the weekend.And Jessi Jones had this to say about their victory over American:American was by far the most spirited team we played all weekend. They seemed very happy just to be at regionals. Led by a couple strong players, they were enough to threaten some of the stronger teams at the tournament. The best word I can think of to describe them is scrappy, catching just about anything thrown their way. They were just a very nice team to compete against, complimenting my team when we did something well and giving us high fives for scoring against them. Final Standings:1 - North Carolina-Wilmington2 - North Carolina3 - Virginia4 - North Carolina State5 - Maryland6 - American UniversityThis is a press clipping from the USA Ultimate website.
