Colorado School of Mines Women's Ultimate Heads to Missouri Tournament

The Colorado School of Mines Women’s Ultimate team travels to Columbia, Missouri, this weekend to compete in the Missouri Loves Company tournament on Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15.

Hosted by the University of Missouri, the two-day event marks the Orediggers’ final scheduled competition of the fall season. The trip provides another opportunity to face collegiate opponents and continue building team chemistry outside the Rocky Mountain region.

Following their participation in the Fright Flight tournament in Boulder, Colorado, on Oct. 24–25, Mines aims to wrap up its autumn schedule on a high note. That opening event gave the team’s newcomers valuable collegiate competition experience.

Veterans and Underclassmen Form the Orediggers Roster

The Orediggers bring a roster featuring a combination of experienced veterans and developing underclassmen. Seasoned leadership comes to the squad through graduate students Susan Gilbert and Nina Winslow, alongside seniors Abigail Douglas and Hailey Kressin.

The returning core is further supported by juniors Lauren Kidney and Maddie Henry, whereas sophomores Sarah Rasmussen, Vivian Ficco, and Hallie Kogut bolster the depth of the roster. The freshman cohort for Mines features Helen Langdon, Emma Haring, Fatima Alegria Armas, Lilly Converse, Cameron Curry, and Lauren Erickson.

Following the Boulder tournament, the newcomers have another opportunity to gain playing time and develop alongside their teammates. The Missouri Loves Company tournament offers a chance for Mines to test its progress against external competition.

Additionally, the matches this weekend provide Mines a chance to refine both its defensive and offensive synchronization while generating further momentum ahead of the spring competitive calendar. Competition is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Columbia, Missouri, with individual game times and opponents yet to be announced.
