The contrast in the teams’ styles of play certainly made for a tight game. I was more than happy to oblige and popped over to watch Bates play Columbia in their quarter final. My dear friend and fellow D-III editor asked me to get some intel on Bates men’s team to help place them on our Power Rankings. Rhum and Lucy Grossbard worked the disc patiently through Curbside’s zone set each offensive point, and the Nova sideline supported with their energy to win 8-6 and go into their bye. Each defender was right on their mark’s hip, punishing any second-guessing with run through blocks, and coming down with floaty throws. Ultimately, Williams just wanted the win more. D-line handler Lily Bresee managed to pilot Curbside to a couple breaks, but their offensive line couldn’t return the favor. Columbia made Williams work for every point, with notable defense from Tien Lardner, and a heads-up layout grab by Nina Haskins to maintain possession after a Williams block was taken by the wind. On offense, Coco Rhum was dynamic in her athleticism, including a chest-high layout to maintain possession on the last point. The Nova D-Line was commanded by senior captain Lauren Lynch, who was unafraid to huck in the wind and knew her receivers well, often finding the hands of Lauren Ryan. He was excited to highlight the players who’d developed their skills playing on Starling this past summer, and their improvement certainly showed. The Williams-Columbia A game was already underway by the time I got to the fields, so I quickly got my little notebook out to chat with the Williams coach, Garrett Clay. The bracket had changed around a couple times since Saturday afternoon, so Harvard, Bates, Wellesley and NYU got to sleep in for their first round byes and play their quarterfinals at 10 AM. Williams and Columbia A were certainly competitive in their pools as well, going 2-1, and were slated to face off in the 8:30 AM quarterfinal game, with Cornell facing Wesleyan at the same time. ![]() Reviewing Saturday’s women’s pool play results, Wellesley commandingly won their pool, while Cornell broke seed to take pool B and Harvard swept pool C. Of course we see a flock of college frisbee players on the Church Ave stop and join them in our pilgrimage to the Prospect Park Parade Grounds turf fields. ![]() Good morning New York City! The sun is shining, the high is expected to be 50, and me, my partner and our McDonald’s coffee are on our way to the fields where he will lead the team he coaches in warm ups. Here is an anthology of my day, the games I saw, the connections I made, and another reminder why I love this sport and the people who play it so much.
