Special Thanks

This tournament would not be possible without the help and support of many of our friends.  We would like to extend a big thank you to Kayla Burnim (ex-Delaware, current Northeastern coach) for her help in making this tournament happen.  Kayla has been one of the most well-respected players, coaches, and organizers in the Metro East and New England Regions for many years, and we are grateful for all of her assistance.  We would also like to thank Anne Mercier (current Ottawa / Capitals) for getting behind this tournament from the moment we proposed it to her, and for getting her team to make the trip down to the States in hopes of building something big in the Metro East.  We would also like to recognize Kristen Lamm (ex-Florida / current Ozone) for designing the logo and merchandise for this tournament, as well as for hooking us up with an awesome screen-printing deal.  Kristen has contributed to and supported so many of Michelle's "projects," always generously donating her time for the benefit of college teams everywhere.  We would also like to thank our wonderful alums, especially Alex Chan, Whitney Viets, Melanie Berlin, Sarah Farnham, and Katie Motyka.  Our team would not be what it is today without everything they've done, and we are grateful for their continued love and support.

We would also like to acknowledge the guidance and resources we have received from University of Texas Melee and Washington University Tilt.  Thank you for what your programs are doing to grow college women's ultimate-- we are proud to partner with you in this endeavor and we look forward to more collaboration in the future.

Lastly, a huge thank you to our sponsors-- George from Patagonia for believing in this tournament, all of the local sponsors for supporting the college kids, and all of the bigger vendors who have invested in the sport of ultimate.  These tournaments would not be what they are without your help.  We are deeply appreciative of your resources and efforts.
