9/27/25 - Air Squids Open the Season Against SDSU

On the sunny afternoon of September 27th, 2024 on Warren Field, the energy of ultimate frisbee returned to campus as we kicked off the year with our showcase game against SDSU. The two teams met at 4:00 pm to begin their warmups before the big game. After running dynamic stretches and some drills, the game to 15 started promptly around 5:00 with a great pull from PSI to the Federales. Noticeable plays in the first half included DN hustling in the end zone to score, a giant leap from Borzoi over the heads of the Feds, and a great shoulder-high layout D from Momo. This allowed the Air Squids to take half with the score standing at 8-5. The start of the second half was immediately followed by an amazing layout from Saw-see to further rile up our momentum. Another well-deserved shout out goes to Trefo for getting multiple Ds. Towards the end of the latter half, the Squids broke the Feds multiple times back to back to close out the game 15-9, holding them to only one point in the second half.\

The Air Squids were able to secure their victory over SDSU with members from both the A and B teams working together and contributing to great plays such as Goomba’s excellent huck from endzone to endzone and Corn Beef Hash’s constant deep space threats. The cooperation between the players of A team and B team strengthened their chemistry and showcased the close relationship between the two teams. Another momentous play that ensured victory was Tendy’s spectacular layout to bail out Gambit’s errant throw, further continuing the Squids’ offensive dominance over SDSU. Lots of people showed up to support the Air Squids, including a good group of rookies recruited in the previous days from tabling and the Sports Clubs Expo, DCos, and other family and friends. This win over SDSU successfully set the tone and marked the start of our 24-25 season.
