Snapshots from "Tempest vs. the West": July 30th, 2021
At the end of July, fellow WUL-member Seattle Tempest hosted a showcase game where their 2021 roster faced off against a team of players who came together from other Western Ultimate League teams, including six of our very own Utah Wild players: Vespera Aragon, Cori Bingham, Bert Cherry, Kyra Khoroujnikova, Rebecca "Makk" Kestin, and Lucy Williams.
Thanks to Lucas Davies for capturing the game, check out some pictures below, the full livestream footage online, or just catch the highlight video here!
