The Georgetown University Women’s Ultimate team enjoyed another successful ultimate tournament, charity event and fundraiser with their 2017 Angel Tree Book Dive Tournament November 19th on the National Mall polo fields. The event collected more than 150 books for the Georgetown Angel Tree Book Drive and DC Books to Prisons Project, and also raised >$2500 for the team’s upcoming season.
There are a lot of parallels between the 2017 DC Breeze squad and the one from 2016. In addition to having the same record and ending the season in a similar fashion, the team scored virtually the same number of goals. D.C. had 392 this past season and 396 in 2016, a franchise high.
One point may be a difference maker when this season is all said and done for the DC Breeze. No, not one point that a player gets injured. Not one point that decided the game, perhaps not even the double overtime point over the New York Empire.
It was deja vu all over again for the DC Breeze on Sunday evening, in more ways than one. For the fifth time in the last seven head-to-head meetings, it came down to the wire against New York. And for the second night in a row, the Breeze led for the majority of the contest only to allow an opponent to come back and eventually take the lead. But compared…
The DC Breeze pulled away in the final minutes to beat the New York Empire yesterday, 28-25. The Empire (2-4) went on a 5-1 run late in the 3rd quarter to overcome a 19-15 deficit and tie the game at 21, but the Breeze (5-2) found another level of effort from that point and would not give up another break in the game.
The Breeze are now 3-2 after the loss to the Toronto Rush in Canada last weekend. Returning to Hotchkiss Field, the team will look to continue their impressive 3-0 start on their home turf Saturday. They face the Montréal Royal (2-3), a team only one game behind the Breeze in the standings but three full places back in a tight East Division race. Separating the two teams are New York and Ottawa, both 2-2.
Things did not go well for the DC Breeze in their first trip north of the border this season. Falling to the Toronto Rush 26-20 for the seventh time in a row on the road, the Breeze still have never solved the division champs in Toronto and have dropped to second place in the AUDL East standings.
The DC Breeze fell to the Toronto Rush Saturday night, 26-20, in a story all too familiar despite the team’s recent success at home against the 4-time division champions. The Breeze are now 0-7 lifetime on the shores of Lake Ontario. Toronto now leads the division at 4-2, while the Breeze are in 2nd at 3-2 and tied for first in the all-important loss column (Complete AUDL Standings). The Breeze came…
Here we go again. It’s the D.C. Breeze vs the New York Empire, and this time first place and early control of the East Division is on the line.

WASHINGTON D.C. – The weather could not have been more perfect and the play of the home team rivaled the perfection, as the DC Breeze throttled the Toronto Rush in their season opener 32-21 at Hotchkiss Field. It was a day when a big and festive crowd including DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and AUDL Commissioner Steve Gordon came out to see a big performance, and the Breeze certainly did not…
