The wind whistled while the SPA Ultimate team took to their positions on the field at the Snail Lake Kindergarten Center against Mounds View on May 18. Having won and played many games by now, the SPA Ultimate team looked like a well-oiled machine at the start of the game. Warming up, SPA was proving their dominance and chemistry. They were ready to compete.

In an excellent series of plays, catches, passes and scores, SPA looked to be dominating over Mounds View, only permitting them to score a minimal number of times. The energy and positivity from the SPA sidelines prompted enthusiasm on the field, and similarly, Mounds View continued to cheer from their sideline. By the end of the first half, SPA was up 8-5.

Shivering players huddled to talk game strategy, and the wind proved itself to be another unfriendly opponent. In the second half, a couple of miscommunication errors allowed Mounds View to score, however, this only motivated SPA to score and play with more determination, which they did. Finishing the game swiftly and eloquently, play after play SPA scored and ended the game with a final score of 15-7.

The SPA Ultimate team clearly knows how to finish their game, and they do so cordially and expertly. In a continual tradition within ultimate frisbee teams, SPA offered chips to Mounds View to congratulate them and everyone gave each other compliments and high fives.
