Road to Nationals: 8 Questions for Mary Washington's MOG

Road to Nationals: 8 Questions for Mary Washington's MOG
We're interviewing a few of the Savage-sponsored teams that are headed to D-III College Championships May 19-20 in Illinois. Next up: Mary Washington's Mother of George, a team that's close to our little Savage hearts (since most of us are UMW alums). Check out our chat with the University of Richmond Spidermonkeys over here
Savage: Any pre-game rituals? 
MOG's Harper James: Like most teams, we have our cheers that we like to do, but more recently our thing to pump up has just been getting as loud as we can shouting in our huddle to bring up energy.
Savage: How do you celebrate a win?
H.J.: A win during a tournament is celebrated and we take time to highlight the positives of the game before going into the next one. A tournament win is celebrated with a full rest day the Monday afterward.
Savage: And mourn a loss?
H.J.: We try not to dwell too long on a loss. Instead we talk about what we can learn from it and take into our next games. Although last year after missing Nationals by one point there were definitely some tears and a drive all season long to not feel that again.
Savage: Favorite place to practice?
H.J.: Our favorite place to practice outside of our practice field is on Ball Circle on campus just throwing around.
Savage: Hype song?
Keys Pattie edit: "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes
Savage: Favorite team beverage?
H.J.: Water? hydrate or diedrate.
Savage: MVP?
H.J.: A lot of people, probably Zach Norrbom at the top of that list.
Savage: Favorite team to compete against?
H.J.: Teams like Navy, where they are a very athletic team with fun competition but the game never gets chippy or angry.

UMW Mother of George Makes Nationals!

UMW Mother of George Makes Nationals!

It's been almost 20 years in the making: the University of Mary Washington Men's Ultimate Frisbee Team is headed to Nationals! Mother of George (affectionally called MOG) has a long history in the sport of Ultimate, and it's finally headed to the show. 

Savage is a proud partner of MOG, because so many of us are UMW alumni! President Todd Curran '06, VP Dan Lee '06, VP Dan Curran '09, Erica Curran '07, Austin Bartenstein '12, Robbie Pratt '17 and honorary alumni Keys Pattie (Coach of MOG since 2015). 

And we also want to extend a huge congrats to our local team the University of Richmond Spidermonkeys for beating MOG for the 1st seed out of the Atlantic Coast region. 

We're headed to USA Ultimate DIII College Nationals later this month to cheer our teams on (and we'll have our sales booth too!).

Want to show your MOG pride? Go ahead and grab some replica gear (white jerseys available only)!
