Hill's Top Achievers: Purple Heys Lead the Pack

In the world of premier Ultimate frisbee, the Purple Heys, based in the Boston area, have made a name for themselves as a formidable force. However, contrary to some misconceptions, they are not the top frisbee team at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, often known as "Mount Saint James."

The Holy Cross Crusaders are the official sports teams of the college, while the Purple Heys are a separate club team, composed of elite players primarily from the Northeast region. The Purple Heys compete nationally and beyond college-level, but they are not affiliated with College of the Holy Cross.

The Purple Heys recently participated in The Lobster Pot tournament, where they started the competition with a 9-0 record. In their first game, they defeated Saint Michael's Purple Nites with a score of 15-5. They narrowly defeated Springfield College Pride in their final game of the first day with a score of 9-13. The Purple Heys overpowered the Maine-Farmington Beavers in their third game with a score of 15-4, and they reclaimed Worcester in their second game against Clark University's Woo Town Killer Bees with a score of 13-6. Unfortunately, they lost the championship game at The Lobster Pot to University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a score of 15-5.

Despite their impressive performance, the Purple Heys are not the top frisbee team at College of the Holy Cross itself. To find out about the college's collegiate Ultimate teams, one would need to look for specific information about those teams, which are separate from club teams like the Purple Heys.

Meanwhile, the College of the Holy Cross has made some unusual headlines recently. In an unprecedented PR stunt, the college has changed its mascot to an armor-clad Anthony Fauci. This change was featured in the annual Eggplant Edition, which comprises satirical articles.

On a different note, the Holy Cross women's golf team hosted their first ever Crusader Invitational towards the end of the fall golf season. The event, which aims to fund and support several of the College's programs, took place on Feb 25, 2022, as part of the Power of Purple, the College's seventh annual day of giving.
