Favorite memory from being on the Mellons?

The second day of the Delaware tournament freshman year it was cold and raining all day. We made it to the final, but by that time the field was so wet that we were just sliding around in mud the entire time. We did get Sheetz for lunch though so that kinda made up for it...

How did you start playing ultimate?

A bunch of my friends who played kept suggesting I tryout for our high school team. It took until my senior year for me to finally gather the courage to give it a go, and while I definitely struggled to throw in the beginning, I enjoyed the sport and its culture so much I stuck with it and have not looked back since :)

Favorite memory from being on the Mellons?

Our universe point against Temple in Fall 2021 regionals was very very satisfying (s/o to Rachael and her gorgeous, 50-something-yard huck assist), especially after the previous line played a grueling 20+ minute point through snow and high wind to get us tied at 7s.

Favorite throw or move on the field?

Nothing like a good chicken wing!

What's your ideal playing weather?

Between 60-70 degrees and partly sunny with minimal wind.

If you could have any body part from any player on the team, which would you want and why?

I went to a summer camp at Gesling Stadium when I was 7 (pink skirt, Hello Kitty shoes and all), and the rest is history.

Favorite memory from being on the Mellons?

Probably day 2 of Delaware Classic sophomore fall when we surprised ourselves by making it to finals, and ended up playing Pitt A in a mud pit :D. There were some sweet plays, I learned what waterproof paper was, and I lost odds to Ash (as usual) and had to eat an everything bagel that had been sitting on a bleacher in the pouring rain all day (not my finest moment).

Favorite tournament-route meal and/or car game?

Grapes, snap peas, cantaloupe... yeah definitely some sort of produce.

Do you have any ultimate-given nicknames? What's the story behind it?

My nickname throughout high school was Stud, which came about out of necessity because we had 5 Sara/h's on my youth club team my freshman year. There had been a preview written on the USA Ultimate website about some spring tournament, and I was referred to as a "freshman stud." My friends thought this was hilarious, and thus my nickname became "young stud," which got shorted to just "stud." I was not a fan of it at first, but it stuck. On the Mellons, I've had a variety of nicknames thrown at me by the nickname queen herself, Hannah Lyness�Simba, Produce Kid (for my love of fruits and veggies)�but as I'm the only Sara, none of them have stuck... yet.

What's your ideal playing weather?

70s, sunny, no humidity, and the slightest of breezes. Pillowy but dry grass field because as much as layouts are fun, wet socks are the worst.

What do you do when you're not playing ultimate?

A couple months earlier I would've said wdym not playing ultimate :'(. I suppose now the more accurate answer is schoolwork, TAing, doing NYT crosswords, and playing intense games of Sporcle bingo when I really should be sleeping.

Go-to snack?

I love popcorn, but ever since I dropped a disc at a tournament because I had popcorn grease on my hand (and obviously not because I was just bad), I've trusted it less. The other answer is produce, but we all knew that.

When I came to CMU I wanted to find a good community that would be accommodating with my horrible class schedule and constant injury status (lol) and found CMWU. I saw their advertising during O week and decided to check it out. Mo had no part in convincing me to try it out, it was all me.

Favorite memory from being on the Mellons?

I definitely enjoyed running around the field in a full body banana costume. It was my first ultimate tourney and was an amazing experience socially with the team and to learn more about the sport as a whole. I also liked the brunch we had at the beginning of the year where we all got to hangout for the first time.

Favorite throw or move on the field?

I love the flick because it is the only way I can actually throw the disk!

Favorite tournament-route meal and/or car game?

My favorite tournament-route meal is definitely white cheddar cheese it's and a peach redbull (a god send). but the best experience when driving in my car when en-route to a tournament is me blasting my bad 80s music while everyone is forced to enjoy.

Do you have any ultimate-given nicknames? What's the story behind it?

nope!

What's your ideal playing weather?

Whoever says anything except for a little cloudy and 65 is wrong. I haven't played in the snow yet but I'd wanna try it. No rain. ever.

If you could have any body part from any player on the team, which would you want and why?

Team "Essences" -- car game in which you choose a category and group brainstorm a type from each category that matches to someone on the team (e.g. for Mellons "Sesame Street" Essences, Carolyn would be Count von Count because she's hella good at math and Mimi would probably be the Elmo Fire Meme, Hellmo, because idk it just feels like the right vibe).

Do you have any ultimate-given nicknames? What's the story behind it?

Zazu/Zaz/Z. I was eating pizza with some upperclassmen who were brainstorming nicknames for me, and it went something like this (some creative liberties taken): "Rosa, Za, *points to pizza*, Zazu. Heck yea Lion King.

What's your favorite memory of the Mellons?

At one of our final practices in the spring of 2019, we played a wacky scrimmage where you could only score while holding a pool noodle. It was one example of many in which the team willingly tried something I suggested without doubting it first and through that, we helped each other workshop the idea. In this case, the idea was silly and a chance to unwind at the end of the season, but it was hilarious to watch and getting the team to laugh was one of my daily goals.

Favorite throw or move on the field?

A little backhand dish to a handler before scurrying away to get back in the stack

What's your favorite aspect of the game to teach the team?

Definitely offensive strategy. Teaching things like zone offense and horizontal stack cutting are notoriously hard, but seeing it click is incredibly rewarding.

What skills are you proud of the team for developing?

I am proud of the team for developing a lot of skills like swinging the disc as often as possible, finessing their zone defense, and mastering that first in-cut in a vert stack. Above all though, I am proud of them for showing up for each other on the sideline and remaining together as a team, even after the craziness of their 2020 spring semester. The other favorite memory I didn't mention is when one of the rookies last year laid out for the first time for a score and the entire team rushed her on the field to celebrate. The Mellons are maybe not your typical college ultimate team, but they are committed to each other and their love of the sport.
