Stockman said the team had set a spring season goal of going to nationals with this year's mix of rookies and veterans.
"We have a bunch of rookies who are really great," Stockman said. "I think we have a good chance at nationals."
"When I joined the team, I learned that there are actual playing positions and strategies to Ultimate Frisbee." Horner said.
