Emily Damon
Emily came to Stanford three years ago with some unbelievable ultimate
experience already behind her. This junior has been playing ultimate since middle school
at some school back east called Amherst (I guess we may have heard of
it). Emily showed up on day one with a beautiful flick, graceful layout
form, and an obsession with ultimate that boded well for the future of
Superfly. Rumor has it she even chose her freshman dorm just to be near
Roble field. Though she was sidelined with an ACL injury early last year, she is
back in full force now and her confidence with the disc makes her a threat anywhere on
the field... whether she is hubbing in zone O, cutting upline, or looking
to throw it long off of a beautiful dish play. On defense, Emily consistently
looks to challenge herself, marking up on the other teams' best players
and demoralizing them: she tallies layout D after layout-catch D. As she's
only a junior, we are lucky enough to have her for (at least) another
year. Don't let her break your mark, or she's sure to let off a
beautiful throw for the score.
