Ceiling Can’t Hold Us

February 19, 2013

2012 was a spectacular year for Scandal! We made it to the semifinals of the Club National Championships, the furthest placement in team history, losing a windy battle to Seattle Riot 15-13. We maintained our third place ranking and we’re looking to fly even higher next year…so we put our hands up!

‘SHIP, ‘SHIP, ‘SHIP!

October 17, 2012

Scandal is days away from setting out for sunny Sarasota, Florida for the 2012 Club National Championships. We finished the season strong, winning Chesapeake, Sectionals, Virginia Fusion, and Regionals all in a row. Virginia Fusion was a fabulous, high-level tournament, giving us an important late-season opportunity to battle it out with a slew of championship contenders. Now all eyes are on the ‘Ship, where Scandal is seeded 3rd overall. We face a challenging pool, playing Nemesis, Schwa, and Capitals on Thursday. Follow all the action and support us – Skyd Magazine has every possible link you need to keep in touch at their Tournament Central. Scandal, you know!!

Scandal Sprinting Toward the Series!

August 18, 2012

As summer draws to a close, Scandal is counting down the days til the USAU series begins. With three major tournaments under our belt, Scandal stands in third place in the USA Women’s Club Rankings, behind Fury and Riot, with a current record of 15-5. We still have the Chesapeake Invite and Virginia Fusion ahead of us, and this weekend we are throwing down and working hard at our team retreat! Life is good.
