In today's paper, Rachel Turner writes about the Neon Yellow Panda Dragons (NYPD), Columbia's women's Ultimate Frisbee club. Turner writes:
If you’ve spotted someone walking around campus with a fuzzy panda hat, chances are you’ve encountered one of the dedicated members of NYPD...
NYPD has placed in every tournament they’ve played this year, including a first-place finish at Vassar’s Halloween tournament, and most recently a second-place finish at Fall Brawl. The fall season is generally geared toward learning the game and getting comfortable, while the spring season is more focused on winning. NYPD has reached Ultimate Sectionals the past few years, but this year, its goal is to place at Regionals.
With mad trick Frisbee skills like these it's no surprise that Turner and her fellow Panda Dragons are taking the UF community by storm. "But," I can hear you asking, "what if I want to be an awesome Frisbee hero but am not a woman?" Well, Uptown Local, Columbia's men's Ultimate Frisbee team, is here for you!
