College Ultimate heating up

 With the Conference Championships a little over a month away another weekend of play in the college Ultimate season is well underway for teams across the country.

Rankings released on March 6 had the Wisconsin Hodags (9-0), of UW-Madison, out front in the D-I Open Division. Not far behind are a pair of undefeated teams in the UNC Darkside  (13-0) and SunBurn Ultimate, of Arizona, (15-0). All three teams are in action this weekend in the Stanford Invite 2013 for what could be a battle for the No. 1 spot.

Rounding out the Top 5 are the Texas and Minnesota teams at (7-2) and (8-1) respectively.

Junk Ultimate from UChicago is the highest ranked Illinois team in the Open Division coming in all the way at No. 102. NUT is not far behind at 117, and will be in action this weekend at Huck Finn XVII. Joining NUT are the U of I team and the group from Luther College.

In D-III teams from Puget Sound, Kenyon and St. Johns hold the top three.

In the women's division D-I it's the team out of British Columbia holding the No. 1 spot. With an 8-1 record they're ahead of Oregon (12-1) and Washington at 5-2 so far on the season. California-Santa Barbara and Carleton College finish out the top 5.

The Northwestern women are fairing much better than the men at this point. With 7-7 record on the season GungHo is ranked 41st. Last week they finished 5-2 during the Midwest Throwdown.

Whitman, Valpo and Georgia College are the top three teams in D-III in the women's division. The Luther women are ranked at No. 29 in D-III, but are not in action this weekend.

NLS will continue to follow College standings leading up to and throughout the Ultimate postseason. Check back for more.
