Luther to
host Ultimate Frisbee tournament |
Luther College
has received the bid to host the men and women's Ultimate
Players Association Central Region Ultimate Frisbee
Championships on April 26th and 27th.
The UPA Central Region Championship games will be played on
the athletic fields on the campus of Luther College.
Tournament winners will advance to the UPA College
Championship Series National Championships, May 16th, 17th
and 18th in Boulder, Colorado.
The Luther tourney is one of eight UPA Regionals played
across North America. The UPA Central Region
Championships teams and schedules will be determined after
sectional play and will be posted on the UPA website
http://www.upa.org.
The top 16 men’s teams and top 16 women’s teams in UPA
Sectional tournaments played across the Central Region will
advance to the Central Region Championships at Luther.
The UPA Central Region includes Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, the upper peninsula of
Michigan, and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan,
Manitoba and western Ontario.
Luther Ultimate team captain Dan McAdam, a senior from
Farmington, Minn., said 2008 is the second consecutive year
Luther has hosted the regional playoffs. "It's unusual
for a facility to host the regional tournament in
consecutive years," said McAdam, who heads the college’s
Ultimate program and is co-directing the tournament.
"Receiving the bid is a testament to the college’s
exceptional facilities and its success in conducting the
2007 regional tournament."
Ultimate Frisbee, called "Ultimate" by players and fans, is
one of the fastest growing sports among college and
university students across the United States. The
Luther team was established in 2001, has competed in the UPA
College Championship Series since 2003, and advanced to the
regional tournament in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. |
