Ultimate:
 
The boys ultimate team beat a very solid Garfield team 11 - 10 last night.
Captains Kenny Lane and Jake Lemmen dominated the game with 3
goals apiece but most encouraging was the solid play by a pair of
freshman, handler Lorenzo Rossi and cutter Daniel Lorigan, said Coach Ben Goldfarb.

Meanwhile, the girls ultimate team captured their first ever victory over Nathan Hale. The Beavers defeated the defending state champions, 10 to 7.
Hale was ahead by one point at half time, but Ballard came back by playing hard defense and making some big offensive plays. 

Jessi Spaulding scored 6 goals, and Maddie Gilbert lead the team with defensive blocks. Savanna Ryan played strong defense contesting many aerial passes as well as throwing the majority of the scores. 

Jasmine Isaacson jump started the offense by getting open on the first cut of every sequence, and Leeza Olson had a breakout game where she not only played solid defense, but she also threw a break-mark pass for a score.

After Spring Break, the Ballard girls will be back in action on April 25 at 4:30 p.m. at Magnuson Park against Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In other Ultimate news, Carmella Vizza and Jake Shuler were awarded the USA Ultimate's 2010 Girls Youth Coach of the Year award for their work with the Ballard HS girls team last year.  
The coaches were awarded for their embodiment of "USA Ultimate's Spirit of Coaching while instilling respect, fostering a love of the game, and developing both team and individual players."
