"Ca Caaaawwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was very fitting that Katie caught the very last goal of the tournement because she says she's retiring.

Comments by Monika:
This is the first time we have beaten Portland Schwa. Having avenged our loss to Nemesis, we only lost to Godiva at Nationals... and we scored 9 points on them, more than our competition, more than Ozone did (6). We also came in first in our region: Rare Air placed 8th, Safari 11th. This is the best showing of our team at Nationals since the Lady Condors reformed in the mid '90s after the hiatus.


Jessica Hellyer's Dad and Grandma
who have come to 2001 and 2002 Nationals and 2001 Tune up in Chicago
to watch Jessica play. They are our greatest fans...
they cheer, feed, hydrate, sometimes shelter and hug us.
