We came, we saw, we got conquered 😆, but we had a hell of a time doing it! The team played its heart out and had so much fun in Austin!

Thank you Elite Dodgeball for organizing this amazing event. Shout out to Ale for keeping us on time and all the games moving smoothly. Special thanks to all those who reffed. It's definitely not an easy thing to do, but without you, this wouldn't be possible. Much appreciation to the guys who stood by on the sidelines to help couch the team during the games.

And finally, thank you to all the other women who we played against. Despite our struggles, everyone was so supportive, positive, and was more than willing to give us tips on the fly to improve our game.

We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but we're up for the challenge! See you all next year!

We are Vortex.
