Team Sex Panther

Our own Cassie "Sexy" Panther is one of the sophomore "Bordello" ladies. Cassie has been a baller since her first days on Woman Scorned, when she joined as a freshman. Her quick speed and superior height make her an eminent threat on our team. As a cutter on the field, she has no trouble running her opponents into the ground. She is the Forest Gump of our team- no matter where she goes, she's running. She even runs to the sprint workouts! On defense, she is a sneaky threat. Using her size to her advantage, she can basically run between legs and amoung defenders undetected.

Off the field, Cassie doesn't let Scorned down one bit. When the music starts, there is no doubt that C. Panther is going to get the dance party started. Her endurance definitely applies to dancing as well.


The coolest thing about Cassie Panther was unveiled last year while we were at nationals. Woman Scorned, as a whole, is a pretty big fan of Harry Potter. In fact, we even have a field series of cheers referred to as the "Dumbledore cheers." However, none of us hold a candle to the kind of dedication Cassie has. Cassie used to have Harry Potter parties with her friends where they would dress up and act like wizards, but I don't think any of us were truly convinced until we witnessed this photo:





Cassie spent this fall in Argentina studying abroad and playing ultimate in South America. She is a Biology/Spanish double major in her spare time, and also enjoys riding bikes and doing Bordello-type crafty activities. We are very proud to call Cassie our own!

Too Cute Not to Post!

I found this on FB. Thank you Anne Cuddy!

"Taiwo: A Systematics Approach to the Molecular Science"

Taiwo Anjonrin-Ohu, better known to us (and a majority of the world) as Tai, is one of three phenomenal coaches Woman Scorned has been blessed with this season.


Taiwo has played for elite teams such as Small Rackages, Alpha Cobra Squadron, and Chad Larson Experience. For many on WS, Tai started out as a teammate and leader who kicked our butts on and off the field (we'll get more to the "off the field" in a bit). In the 2008-2009 season, she made the complete transition and coached Scorned to its first Nationals appearance in the team's history. Her elite field experience, shut down defense, sick layouts and skies (from all 5 feet of her), and prominent sideline direction make her an amazing coaching asset.

Outside of ultimate, during her free time, she likes to work as an engineer and in general be ridiculously smart.

Taiwo isn't exactly the strong silent type. Everyone knows that when Tai gets excited, we all better get excited because the intensity level isn't going down anytime soon. Her ability to pump up the team is always evident, especially at Sunday practices when she pushes us to run harder, faster, and further than we knew human beings could, jump higher, and make the plays that she knows we can make. Her confidence in us as a team never waivers and she is constantly pushing each and every one of us to reach our highest potential.


Off the field, Tai is no weak player either. Woman Scorned was built on the foundation of playing hard on and off the field. Although her skills were trumped with the addition of "twin sister Love" to the team, Taiwo still has the rest of us beat with her dance moves. Her ability to ensure a good time is bound to go down in Woman Scorned history. The first time I met Tai, my first sentence to her was, "You're Tai? Like, THE TAI? Text books have been written about you!" This was true; who hasn't heard of Taiwo?

Putting her superior ultimate skills aside, one thing that no one can resist is Tai's ability to throw a great get-together. Plans have been ditched, tournament drives postponed, and injuries endured just to experience these events. Whether the theme is "Vegas," "tribal," or "dress like you're going to an ultimate party," people are sure to flock from all regions to attend. Not only are Tai's get-togethers a good time, but she is tons of fun her self. There is rarely a time when she doesn't have a huge smile on her face or isn't laughing about something.


Although she has a million great qualities, I think my favorite part about Tai is her sideline banter. I can't count the number of times in games I will be running around confused and I hear "Alright baby, I'm talkin' to you you, child. Oh Lord!" I will never forget Fool's Fest 2008, Sunday Game one. Not only did we get 4 points assessed to us for being REALLY late, but WS put 4 ladies (Tai, Love, Jazz, and Lauren) on the field while the rest of the team woke up and checked out of the hotel. When we all got there, those 4 ladies had brought the score to 5-4. It was an impressive feat! I went in (this was my 2nd tournament ever) and I threw a disc into the wind that lost us about 45 yards. I heard Tai from the sideline yell, "Alright Gap, I'm gunna make fun of you for that later, but for right now, go get it back. Go play some defense!" In fact, Tai is my idol for sideline banter and jokingly making fun of my own team mates.

From the time she started playing, Taiwo has been a true Woman Scorned. In every step of her journey, she has brought her teammates up and helped each to become their best. As a coach, she continues to build the team and the program. She is still kickin' our butts in practice and guiding us with encouragement, so that we can feel the fury and unleash the true Woman Scorned ladies that we each have inside.

Thanks Coach Tai, for everything!

Roster player bio's/birthday blogs

So first I have to apologize for dropping the ball on birthday blogs. I was doing so well until Mardi Gras (J-Rick's bday), when our 15 Million tournaments started. I kinda of gave up at that point. I will not try to use homework/studying/school as an excuse, because it would be a lie.

So what I am going to try to do in the next several weeks up until Regionals, is to make bio blogs for each player on the roster. If you already got a birthday blog, then I'm sorry but I will just be using that. As you can see on the right hand column--> our roster is posted (well some of it), and they will serve as links to each player's blog.

Why spend all of this time doing this, you ask? Well it is a pretty simple reason. I am SO SICK of hearing people say we aren't a team dynamic team, or that "we look like shitty soccer players with a few good ultimate players." As we all know, this isn't true! We have got to where we are as a team because of each and every individual on this team, and I want the world (or like the 13 people who read this) to know about each and every one of you!

That is my reasoning. I will probably work harder on this than I will on my finals, and if it comes to it, I might enlist Chelle's help on a few to get them done in time.

The Festival of Fools

Fool's Fest was amazing as always. Great way to end the season (pre-series). A lot went down, most of it will not be relived on this blog. We played some ballin' teams, enjoyed sideline banter from the dudes, gave them some sideline chatter, had a great party, and of course looked GREAT in our Mario Party costumes. Here is the break down of games (no promise on scores):

13-0 Scorned over Kansas State

13-7 Iowa over Scorned

13-0 Scorned over Betty

8-5 Scorned over Arkansas

8-6? Scorned over Winnepeg

8-7 Scorned over Arkansas

Finals: 13-5 Scorned over Iowa

We won the tournament. Congrats to ISUC for winning the Men's division, and Congrats to Small Packages (CLXish) for winning the Open division. I think Kansas might argue this point, but Iowa State (as a whole) is going to take the claim for winning the party as well. :)


Thanks Kansas for putting on a GREAT tourney as always. Backpack girl, thanks for the autograph (I think Michelle has it framed on her wall), and we can't wait for Fool's Fest 2011!!

Centex 2010

Last year was a big year for Woman Scorned. It was the first year that we were able to qualify for nationals and that accomplishment opened up new opportunities for us as a team. One of those opportunities was the invite to play at Centex in Austin, TX. Centex is the most competitive college women's tournament outside of nationals. We were honored to accept.

With this tournament being the 3rd this spring to be over 15 hours of drive time (one way), Scorned was forced to drive through the night in order to not fail all of our classes from too many skips. Saturday morning was a little nerve racking for me (I went down Thursday night with SOL-which was an amazing trip). When Chelle showed up at the fields (she flew down with her mom) we got excited because we could officially play ultimate, even if it was 2 on 7. In the end, our worry was in vain and two cars showed up to give us 10 players to start off the Stanford game.

Game one: Scorned vs. Stanford

As we took the field with a whopping 10 ladies, we pulled on our brand new "throwback yellows." We felt like the Woman Scorned of old, playing nearly savage and wearing jerseys that were almost identical to the first t-shirt jerseys that Scorned played in. It was an awesome feeling! We started the out the tournament smart this time around and made sure Becca was keeping stats as our good luck charm. Scorned came out furious and put two up on the board right away before Superfly battled back to tie it up. With beautiful, sunny weather on our side, Scorned was able to put up several beautiful hucks to make our offense effective, but Superfly took the half at 8-5. Somewhere around 4-4, the remaining cars showed up and we were once again reunited as a nearly full squad team with Coach Taiwo. After half, Superfly continued their run to 10 before Scorned regrasped the fury and ran three points up. Unfortunately, it was too late and the game was capped.

8-10 Superfly

Debate from the stats book: Who is the more powerful twin-Tai or Love?
Gap: "Love has the boobs, I think she is."
Lauren: "Well, if power is derived from the breasts, then Love is, but if it comes from having the ass, Tai's got her."
Gap: "hmm, good point."
Game two: Scorned vs. Oregon

With all the cars at the fields we began our game against Oregon, the #1 seed of the tournament. Although they put the first point on the board, Scorned fought hard to keep the score close. Jessy Erickson had a sick layout score to tie things up at 2’s. As the wind started to pick up, Oregon showed their superior skill and changed their dynamics to defend our offense. They pulled away and took half at 3-8, but not before Scorned ladies could get some sweet D’s. After half, Scorned put a few more on the board, but Fugue ran away with the win.

Oregon 15-5
Game three: Scorned vs. Michigan

The game started out great due to our first season win on the color flip. We got to keep out sick throwback yellows on. Unfortunately, this winning strike didn’t last long. Flywheel put the first point on the board and Scorned answered back with a score of our own. The fight battled on and Flywheel took half at 5-8, as Tai helped us fix the errors in our game. Jazzy brought her body count tally to 3 in this game (people tend to get hurt around her, but not due to fouls, more to running into their own players…its weird). Halftime can be described by this picture:

The remainder of the game included some great defensive plays all around and lacking offense (lots of TTOs from me). The game was capped and Flywheel took the win.

Michigan 8-12

Michigan sideline talk:

Lady Pesch: “I like your Jerseys.”
Michigan girl: “Thanks. What is your team name?”
Lady Pesch: “Woman Scorned.”
Bosco: “Like in X-Men…. or the Bible.”
Michigan: “?” (Bosco keeps chattering)
Becca: *Laughs* Cross over game: Scorned vs. Florida

As we made the long haul over to our new field, the wind began a’ swirlin’. Zone time! The game started off in a battle until 3-3. Offense was a little shaky in the wind, but our D was spot on. The D list included: Jazz, Jessy, Love, plus the SICK cup! Scorned took half at 8-3 and enjoyed some sideline dance practice led by Love. Tai thoroughly enjoyed heckling us during this game (as a warm up for the showcase game) and J-rick answered back with a ballin’ Callahan to take the score to 10-3. The stats book says “We pull, Gap’s legs look rockin’ fuckin’ sausage, they turn…” -Just sayin’. J The cross wind got to be quite intense as wild parrots flew by our field and Scorned took the game to hard cap for our first victory.

Woman Scorned 11-6

With our last game of the day over, the majority of WS ran to grab food before the dance-off. We had approx. 4 practices under our belts before the show, and we were pretty confident that we could contend with the best.

Our sister team, SOL, was up first and set the bar way too high. I had seen the dance practice the night before (Mar-thug had been holding practices for 2-3 months prior), and I knew they had some game. I think what really won them the competition was the following:

1. Anna Hettler’s huge smile during the entire thing

2. The weird leg thing they did when they sat on eachother’s faces

3. Anna and Thug’s conjoined cartwheel move Regardless, it was awesome-well deserved win-Congrats!

While all of the dances were very impressive, the others that really stood out were the ladies with the backwards costumes and, of course, Betty’s “I am not a whore” dance. I was dying laughing during Betty’s dance, and I didn’t even notice backpack girl!

When it came our turn, we were dressed and ready, looking pretty BA in our jerseys and jeans. That is when disaster struck and our song played basically only bass. It sounded terrible and caused our timing to get pretty off. We still pulled off a respectable dance, but it was not what it could have been. Although we were sad, we still had a ton of fun and plan to bring it even harder next year!

Taco Cabana was on the list of food that must be eaten while in Texas and we hit that up before showering and heading to our host houses. Half of the ladies enjoyed a delightful evening at Bryan Campbell’s (UT men’s) house and the rest of us had a great time crashing with Nicole Crumpley (from UT Women’s) and watching the movie “The Pregnancy Pact.” This movie has been discussed WAY too much and the consideration from our team has been taken too far for words.

Pre-quarter’s game: Scorned vs. Maryland

Although a lot of ultimate happened in this game, the majority of the stats include sideline shenanigans and random crap. Umm, lots of D’s and scores but the really important thing about this game was that Lauren received a Diet Coke as her pump up gift and led every single cheer we know. Lauren went on the field and gave Love the can with this warning, “Don’t you dare drink it. I’ll know. I swear I’ll know!” The score was 4-8 at half, but we jumped back on the line and scored two more with cap on. As Lauren yelled, “AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN!” cap sounded and the game was over.

Maryland 6-8

P.S. Helpful Corn, I want to trade you jerseys.

Somewhere not in the champ bracket game: Scorned vs. Kali

With a too many close losses on our plate, we headed into the Kali game wanting to reclaim the Patagonia shorts from Throwdown (we were unsuccessful). The game was fought hard and despite several sick bids from Kali, Scorned kept the score close to 4-4. Shortly before half, this apparently occurred: “Jazz & #42 have a little intimate moment on the end zone line. All of the sudden they’re both on the ground and #42 is patting Jazz’s leg. They score.” Half time. Kali took the next two after half and took the game.

Kali 5-10

For 13^th game: Scorned vs. UCSB

This game represented the first time ISU has ever played UCSB. That was exciting. We came out looking a little ragged on offense, but our zone looked good. We forced turn overs and attempted fast break situations in this game, but ultimately their trap zone D proved too difficult for us to break. Towards the end of the game we developed a strategy that seemed to work, but it was too little, too late and we didn’t call their double team when it repeatedly occurred. Bryan (our host) showed up on the sidelines and our entire team instantly had a crush on him. These ladies were a TON of fun to play with. Love asked about their skirts, and I tried out several different styles of bottom wear (SOL shorts, just spandies, and eventually the skirt) in this game. Exhaustion, frustration, and injuries took out several players and we ended the game at hard cap.

5-9 UCSB

Afterward, Scorned took some time to discuss the weekend and bond it up a bit. Spirits were low, but on the rise as Ottawa approached us to tell us they were forced to forfeit due to injuries and being down to only 6 healthy players. Jazz showed true spirit of the game and decided it would be wrong to take the forfeit-win, so we ended on a double forfeit.

Thanks Michelle and Melee for putting on an AMAZING tournament! Congrats to Bella Donna Ladies for winning the tourney!

The car ride home proved to be pretty uneventful other than when I took us on a 10 mile detour in Northern Texas to try to find a Jason’s Deli. I was pretty upset that this plan failed and we ended up with Sonic. Bosco blessed us with her gracious singing the ENTIRE 16 hours home…. That was awesome. We arrived safely and instantly started planning for Fool’s Fest.

Skirts vs. Shorts, Lumberjacks vs. Flintstones

Currently, there is an uproar of controversy taking place on the Woman Scorned email list serve battlefield. The following are serious topics, that require great analysis and thought:

#1: Skirts versus Shorts

In the beginning, there was Woman Scorned. It consisted of A LOT of BA ladies! They wore yellow T-shirts with a circular logo on the back and played ultimate outdoors, where they lay out D'd opponents and skied the dudes who dared to play with them. No words can describe the glory that was beholden when they laid out for discs. Their skirts captured the true beauty as they flowed in the wind.

As the years went on, Woman Scorned progressed as a team and new players entered the scene. New jerseys (made of read jersey) were created and ladies began to sport different styles of skirts.

The flowy skirt:

The wrap-around skirt:

The Short skirt:

The athletic skirt:

The long skirt:

The pink skirt:

The boxer skirt:
-Cy skirt:
-kisses skirt:
-The penguin skirt
-black nationals skirt:
-The leopard skirt:

So now we question whether we should wear skirts or shorts? So we need to weigh our options!

Pro's:
1. You look so damn good!
2. Can change pretty much everything on your bottom half w/o full exposure
3. layouts look real pretty
4. We are ladies!
5. show a little more leg
6. Get to see Tai or Dersch's undies when they layout D you
7. FOUNDATIONS!
8. Boxer shorts provide cheap and cute skirts
9. ventilation
10. show off your curves
11. This isn't on your conscience: "Don't you know that little tears from Derscheid dripping to the ground will cause you pain and cause your children pain and cause your children's children pain?"


When I think unnatural, I think this:























Basically, what do I have to day about shorts?
...Gross! Let's wear skirts! embrace our femininity! Embrace our roots! Vote skirts today!!!

ok, now on to a more pressing, but less controversial issue.

#2: Lumberjacks versus Flintstones

Not to worry Fool's Fest fanatics! Woman Scorned will be coming well prepared to Lawrence this weekend-as always. The anticipation and excitement of the weekend has brought practice numbers to an all time high and even pulled people from as far as Scotland to join in on the frisbee fun. While our field costume theme has been long ago decided and dibbs have been placed on each individual's role, we are on the brink of our party costume decision. The guidelines for Scorned's game plan is simple: Think of something that will show off our hot bods, but is functional for the field costume. Choose something that is a little slutty, shows more skin, and is awesome for the party.

I know you all really want to know what our field costumes are, but I am sorry. You will have to wait and find out. As far as the party costumes, that is still TBD. So what do you think?

Slutty lumberjacks?

Here are the texts I received to try to convince me:

"What about lumberjacks for the party?"-Hoistad
"ok, we have sooo many lumberjack/wood innuendos. Come on." -Magic
"Give me some ideas. Convince me-I'm still indecisive."-Me
"It's always a good time to work with some wood. Where's the crapper, I need to drop off some timber. I like my wood the best in the morning."-Magic
"How does that translate to looking slutty and awesome at the party?"-Me
"Wear a plaid shirt. Don't button it. wear suspenders. wear Daisy Dukes."-Magic
"Yeah true. See what the team thinks, I'm down."-Me

Flintstones?

Come on, just look at the amount of skin we can show!

...on second glance, they really don't show that much skin...

Disney fairy princesses? (or something like that?)

I was thrown out there, but I am just don't know if that idea is going to pass.

We did sprints all year to look good for this party. Tai pushed us past the point of looking good, to looking AMAZING so that we would be prepared to look good for this party (and be awesome on the field as a secondary benefit)! Now is the moment. Now is when we need to shine! Vote wisely my dear friends, we are on the verge of greatness!

Other tricks up our sleeves



T-5 days.

It is never sunny in Philidelphia

Although SB 010 was looking to be boy-less, some last minute scrambling from Lauren set up a sweet party Thursday night to pack what is normally accomplished in a week, all in to one epic night. Since the boys were unwilling to move practice to start the celebration at a reasonable hour, we were left to wait until after practice; 1:00 am-5:30 am. With a beach bum theme, the puzzles didn't take long to complete before the bag began to be slapped and dancing commenced. As the party raged through the night, people began to make their way to the beach (home) and inevitably no one was left standing.

12:00 pm Friday: Departure time for Philly.

As we jumped in the cars, plans were set for making it to Pennsylvania just in time for games. As we received a text from Michelle that our first game was at 7 AM, our captains got a look of terror realizing that our ETA was set at 6:30 AM. As we vowed to make it work, Michelle came through for us (once again) and graciously gave us a noon game to allow a little more time. As the lead car, we (Jazz, Jessy, & Gap) we were in charge of picking up the stragglers. First stop was Des Moines to grab Jenny from Drake. Then we headed to Chi-town to snag Lauren and hit the road again. As we all learned a little bit about how awesome Jenny is for creating "IPEX," the new Drake Women's team, we made our way across the country.

The drive was relatively uneventful with the exception of #1 in our "Series of unfortunate events."

#1- Hoistad's car gets a ticket for following our own caravan too closely.

Although we all wished really, really hard and watched "it's always sunny" in hopes of sun, we reached State College in a down pour. We checked into a hotel for a nice 4 hour nap before our first game versus Ottuwa.

Game one vs. Ottuwa:

With the loss of the flip, this game went to Ottuwa. They were a fun bunch of ladies to play with, and I really enjoyed it when they started speaking French on the field. This really is the ultimate tool because none of us are anywhere near fluent in French! Conditions were so miserable in this game that neither team scored an upwind point, and there were times when both teams were just wishing for the game to end regardless of its outcome.

Ottuwa 3-4

With a bye before our second game, we headed to a burger joint to warm up. As we all stripped down in the entrance, the locals looked at us like we were crazy. As we tried to stop shivering, we ate what we could and ran to the tiny local laundry mat to attempt to dry our clothes in 30 minutes. As we all stood in our skibbies, we laughed at Bosco as she fell out of the dryer and almost broke her tailbone. Unwillingly, we headed back out into the cold 35 mph wind and rain.

Game two vs Brandeis:

With spirits very low, we started the game in a whirlwind. Too cold to function, drops were everywhere and throws were uncatchable. In the roughest game Scorned has played yet this year, we fell to our own mistakes. What seemed like a close game was taken away from us in a run with 2 upwind scores by the Banchees. Although the game was completely miserable, these ladies from Boston proved to be wonderful with great spirit throughout the game. We really hope we can play them again in better conditions!

Brandeis 4-8



Due to the new tournament setup and limited fields, Scorned ended up only having two Saturday games and four Sunday games. While we originally thought this would be detrimental, it proved to be quite beneficial as the conditions on Sunday were much more playable. We headed back to the hotel to get out of our clothes and grapple to get something productive out of the day. On our way back to the hotel, in the midst of an accidental unnecessary lane change, we provided a local with a puddle splash bigger than his entire body. Although this was super unfortunate for the man, it did lift our spirits a little bit. :)

Back at the hotel, showers were taken in true spring break fashion: 3+ people in there at once. The bathrooms were destroyed with the mud from our bodies and some older ladies took clothes to the laundry mat so that day two would be possible uniform-wise. Dance practice resumed from Throwndown in the hotel's conference room, and what started as semi-productive, turned into a serious 3 hour class on how to be awesome. Love was our teacher, and we got half of our dance routine down pat!

After dancing up a storm, the ladies started a variety of activities including, eating at Perkins, chillin’ in the hallway, visiting College Street for some Penn flavor, meeting a Warlock, seeing the Dixie Chicks wannabes, and just being ridiculous in the rooms.

An 8 am wakeup from Jazz and Chelle reminded us all that we came to this state to play frisbee! A central region match up was first on our plate Sunday with a game against the notorious SOL. We were pretty upset that they didn't provide any sol Sunday, but we couldn't stay mad long once we saw their shining faces.

Game three vs Wisconsin Eau Claire:

With temperatures the same and the presence of rain still there, the only improvement to Sunday was the decline in wind speeds. This was a HUGE difference though! SOL threw their cup on us and while the game started off as its normal neck and neck battle, EC began to pull away just before half. Their zone defense completely ruined Jazz and my plan to run Robyn all over the field to tire her out (we knew, due to our friendship factor/fb stalking, she was sick with bronchitis). Drops and crappy throws were the name of the game once again and Scorned's enthusiasm plummeted as the game went on.

Wisconsin-Eau Claire 5-11

With a bye, ladies ran around trying to find food, shelter, and Jazz's wallet before meeting back at the fields.

Game four = Quarters vs. Maryland:

As we came out on to the field, the game started with a fight putting us somewhere around 3-3 when Becca decided to change the way the weekend was going and save the day. She got the stats book out! Apparently, this is what it took for us to turn around our game, and we went on a run to take the game to half. As we stood in the huddle, the only words that anyone could find were "Hey, we're winning. Our coaches might not kill us after all." Dumbledore cheers were used way too much and L-Dawg finally got a field cheer as well. Spirits were lifted and we started playing like Woman Scorned again.

Woman Scorned 12-4


With another bye before our last two games, Scorned split up and headed out in to the town of State College. This leads us to unfortunate event #2.

#2: Three cars head to town to eat at Golden Wok, but park in a parking lot nearby with no signs about parking. They come out 30 minutes later to find their cars towed because Arby's apparently claims they have a sign saying it was Arby's parking only. Total cost to Woman Scorned: $315.
Total cost to Arby's: 15 girls who will never eat at Arby's again (at least on ult trips)

Thankfully, Becca is addicted to Quedoba and that car was spared (along with Mikey's car which chose to stay at the field and fall asleep with it running and heat on high-the smell inside was horrific.)

Game five = Semi's vs Penn:

As we cheered "F*** Arby's" Scorned took the field against our 2009 nationals competitors. Remembering the game from last spring, we were determined and re-amped. As both teams battled hard, Scorned continued to reemerge from our temporary shell, and Lady Pesch learned how to play ferocious defense with a sky D. While Pesch played an amazing game, Jazz takes the cake with a sick layout grab against Opi in the end zone for the score. Jazz also had a great huck D with her face, early on in the game that she took like a champ. Penn proved to be great competitors and very nice on the field. We also greatly appreciated their sympathy towards our Arby's incident.

10-8 Woman Scorned

Game six = Finals vs. Cornell:

A whole new team, yet still very cold and tired, we powered through into our last game. As we sat in the huddle, I calmly explained the very basic theology behind this game being the finals game, and we all agreed that if we won this, we would win the tournament. (good thing “pool play games” don't really matter!)

Coming out strong against Cornell, we pushed the score as both teams grabbed upwinders. Scorned broke away to take half and much to our delight, Cornell approached us to request a quick halftime. After half, we continued to fight strong as injuries and the weather took its toll on our numbers. With a strong sideline and a rejuvenated willpower, Scorned took the finals game and ran to our cars ready to get the heck out of the cold!

Woman Scorned 8-6

As we stood on the line during the last game the brilliant idea came to mind to take showers before the 15 hour drive home. As we attempted to break into the Rec center, we found ourselves looking at a fully functional shower room filled with little girls and tutus. A little upset, but not discouraged, Lauren led us to the next brilliant plan and #3 on the list of unfortunate events.

#3 Using the Men's locker room at the Penn State Rec Center.

As we entered the locker room cautiously, we called out "men?" and learned there was in fact a man in there. We waited outside and stripped down to very limited clothing. After he exited (and we sent away like 3 guys looking to enter) we headed in. What we did not know was that there was another very naked man in the shower. He then proceeded to get quite angry at us, and we were forced to run out and head home without showers.

The ride home went smoothly for the most part, with the exceptions of bad events #4 and #5.

#4: Coming out of a toll, we over shot our top speed and before realizing it, a cop did for us. $95 dollar ticket.

#5: The one car that ventured down to Georgia in search of some warm weather, had a mild collision with another car causing damages that will no doubt result in more $$$.


Although a rough start to SB 010, Scorned was able to come home knowing in our hearts that we won the tournament and with a promise from Michelle to "see what she can do" about getting us a trophy or team Patagonia shorts. With no hatred towards any PEOPLE (besides the two cops and the Arby's people), we all vowed to never return to Pennsylvannia again- it really is the worst state ever to exist.

On a final note- we are all quite broke now, and would really love it if you would buy a Woman Scorned Disc. They are only $10 and totally worth it!

My apologies for not getting last weekends recap posted. It is finished, but with technical difficulties involving pictures, I just can't bring myself to post it in anything less than finished condition.

On another note, follow us this weekend to Philly! We will be celebrating Spring Break Philly style, and we are thoroughly banking on it being "always sunny in Philadelphia!"
