Favorite Caliente memory: A practice in the Fall when there was only like 10 of us there so we played a game of mini, with only 4 girls on a team. It was such a great practice, I laughed so hard the whole time! Also, layout practice in the mud!
Random fact: I have a twin sister who also plays Ultimate, but for UofA... so she's not as cool.
