In 2015­2016, both teams hadsuccess on the field in theirconference tournaments. Men'sUltimate hosted the DIII Sectionals in April of 2016 atUMW placing 2nd andadvancing to regionals andfinishing the year 5th in DIIIAtlantic Regional. Theseaccomplishments along withseveral others resulted in Men'sUltimate being named the2015­2016 Sport Club of theYear. On the Women's side,they competed in the AtlanticCoast ConferenceChampionship and finished 5thin the conference after going 2­1 in pool play and falling to therunner up, Davidson, in the firstround of bracket play.

So where do they go fromhere? Both teams look tocontinue to compete well intournaments all across Virginiaand surrounding states, whilelooking to grow the sport hereat the University of MaryWashington. The Men'steam has already begun play atWilliam and Mary inSeptember as an opportunity toget experience for their 

  rookies. And walked awaysatisfied with theimprovements of their teamsduring the weekend and lookforward to what the seasonholds with the goal of trying toget a bid for nationals. TheWomen's team looks to rebuildtheir team after losing severalkey members from theirprevious year, but are excitedfor the enthusiasm andexcitement that their rookiesbring to the team. The goal forthis year is to learn and grow asthey work to rebuild for thefuture. The Women's team willbegin their season withRichmond in the upcomingweeks.
