LVC’s ultimate frisbee club, the Jammin’ Jackalopes, traveled to its final tournament of the semester.
On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Jammin’ Jackalopes traveled to Kutztown for its third and final tournament of the fall semester. The team was comprised of 12 students, 11 experienced players and one player who had never attended a tournament before.
The 8th Annual Ring Bologna tournament was hosted by Kutztown University’s ultimate frisbee club. It consisted of 12 teams from Cornell University, Franklin & Marshall College, Kutztown University, Lafayette College, the University of Scranton, Susquehanna University, Thomas Jefferson University and York College. Each team was guaranteed three pool games, followed by a championship bracket.
The Jammin’ Jackalopes placed third in the tournament overall and had a record of three wins and two losses for the day. The scores of the pool games were 10-6 against Lafayette College, 7-11 against the University of Scranton and 11-1 against York College. The team won 10-4 against Thomas Jefferson University in the quarterfinals match and lost 5-7 against the University of Scranton in the semifinals match.
“We played like a legit team and looked good on both offense and defense,” Justin Rachfalski, the president of the ultimate frisbee club, said. “The last game was probably the best game we’ve played as a united team, and we have so much potential going forward.”
This tournament marks the end of the season for the Jammin’ Jackalopes and the team looks forward to getting back out on the field in early February of next year.
