TCNJ Ultimate began its journey as the Flying Pineapples back in 2004. With barely enough girls, we worked our way up as a mixed team.
Finally in the fall of 2006, it looked as if we might have enough ladies for a full squad. Unfortunately, club sectionals was the only time all of the ladies were around. We were determined to make the split though and registered for College sectionals in the spring. We were all set for the series with just 7 players. But then a last minute illness set us back to 6 and made the long trek to NY impossible.
Fall of 2007 was a big year for us. We finally had enough girls to stand on our own. With barely any subs and most girls being completely new to the sport, we had a long way to go. But we were winning games at even our first tournament.
Spring 2008 we managed to host our own home tournament, albeit it small, but successful. Once again, we had only 8 girls for sectionals but nothing was going to stop us this time! The highlight of the tournament was scoring the most points against the number one seed then any other team and our captain scoring her first Callahan. Unfortunately, 8 girls can get really beat up after 5 straight games and there was no physical way we would make it to Sunday. Sadly we left that night tired and sore.
Fall 2008 was our chance to really develop ourselves as a legit team. We settled on a name, logo and jersey colors. And thus began TCNJ Anarchy! We finally looked organized with matching lights and darks and for the first time we were going to tournaments with a decent number of subs.
Spring 2009 has been a rough season. We lost a lot of players who were just unable to commit to the season. On top of our shortened roster, rain worked against us as well. We are going into sectionals with not a single full-tournament played this season. But we are focused and determined to continue our way up. Our numbers may be much smaller than expected but our goal is to not only play out the whole tournament but to break seed in the process.
