D-I Women’s Division

Tufts Still Tough, and Stanford Are Soooo Back

#13 Stanford Superfly played host to the biggest tournament of the weekend for the women’s division, at the Stanford Invite . After a winning Queen City Tune-Up, #2 Tufts EWO traveled across the country and proved the West Coast doesn’t have all the talent, winning the whole tournament to remain unbeaten on the season. Their opponents in the final, Stanford, finally had a bounceback weekend after a rough two tournaments to start the season. Tufts proved to be a clear step ahead, though, winning the final by a decisive 12-9 margin.

#8 UC Santa Cruz Sol had a Southwest-Teams-Cannibalizing-Each-Other loss to #15 UC Davis Rogue in pool play, which actually gave #21 Northeastern Valkyries the pool win and set up their own quarterfinal loss to Tufts. #11 Cal Poly SLO SLOMotion continued to impress with a semis appearance.

No headline events on the near horizon, but there will be plenty of below-the-fold action at The Only Tenn I See , Cash Me Outside , Too Hot to Handle , Gnomageddon , and PACcon .

D-I Men’s Division

Revenge of the Darkside

14 teams from our power rankings faced off for an exhilarating weekend of ultimate at Smoky Mountain Invite . #4 UNC Darkside washed away any residual early season doubts by going undefeated to win it all in Knoxville. They won back-to-back universe point games in the semis and the final against (respectively) #8 Colorado Mamabird and #5 UMass Zoodisc.

To reach the final UMass beat the previously undefeated #2 Carleton CUT. Meanwhile, the other undefeated team heading into the weekend, #1 Oregon Ego, lost to both UNC and Carleton. They finished the weekend in fifth place. No major teams remain undefeated in 2025, and with Stanford Invite and Easterns still approaching, it’s shaping up to be one of the best college seasons in a while.

D-III Women’s Division

A North Central Preview

At Midwest Throwdown , #2 St Olaf Vortex and #3 Macalester Pursesnatchers both made valiant runs before losing in the semifinals. Vortex won 10-6 in the third-place game in a likely preview of North Central Regionals. #21 Michigan Tech Superior Ma’s went 4-3, losing to good D-I teams on Sunday. It may not be enough for the Superior Ma’s to earn a bid, but they still have a month left to try and earn the NC’s fourth.

Looking Ahead

Claremont take the field for the second straight weekend at Gnomegeddon. Without any posted schedules, it’s hard to say which other events will have D-III representation, though plenty of East Coast tournaments brings hope we’ll see the final few ranked holdouts take the field this weekend.

D-III Men’s Division

Fatal Finale and Mudpuppy Mayhem

UNC Asheville’s win was not the only shocking quarters result, where #16 Rochester Piggies came back from down 9-6 to #9 Richmond Spidermonkeys to win 13-9. Richmond had a Sunday to forget, losing to #17 Oberlin Flying Horsecows and CHOP in consolation play.

Meanwhile, Richmond’s regional rivals #10 Elon Big Fat Bomb proved themselves as possible Atlantic Coast favorites, dominating every game but their universe point semis against Fransiscan. Still in the AC, #19 Davidson DUFF played themselves completely out of bid contention getting bounced by #25 Puget Sound Postmen in prequarters.

Looking Ahead

#8 Whitman Sweets are making the trip down to Stanford Invite, trying to test themselves against strong D-I competition. Without published schedules, it isn’t clear if or where any other D-III teams will be in action.
