The Fresno State ultimate Frisbee club went to two tournaments this semester, winning one of them.

In March, the club went to Long Beach to compete against 15 other colleges from around the state including UCLA, Cal and San Diego State. Last Saturday, the club co-hosted an indoor tournament in Fresno at Selland Arena.

Ultimate Frisbee is normally played on an area the size of a football field, but the indoor tournament was played on the Central Valley Coyotes’ arena football turf, which was about half the size of a normal field.

James Lundberg scores against San Diego State in Long Beach. Lundberg has been playing for the team for all two years of the club’s existence. Senior Drew Maurin defends against a San Diego State forehand. Maurin has played ultimate Frisbee for four years.
