You want an honest (and sometimes brutally honest) opinion – well go ask Lisa!

That’s right, probably the wisest of us all (mostly because she’s the oldest), Lisa is loaded with experience on and off the field. You want to know about good wine, go ask Lisa. You want to know about good beers, go ask Lisa. You want to know about good food and any cooking tips, repeat after me…Go Ask Lisa! If anyone ever needs a life line…we’d all call Lisa!

Besides being awesome at all avenues of life, Lisa is also really good at Ultimate. She has heaps of club experience; playing on Safari for 9 years. She’s also rocked a couple years in the coed division with Friends with Benefits and Pleasuretown. So, if you have a question about Ultimate…well, go ask Lisa, but we’ll warn you now, she’ll give you her absolute honest opinion so be ready for it! Her goals this year are to have fun, help grow women’s ultimate in San Diego, and have more fun (winning is also fun).

Outside of Ultimate, she also loves walking her wiener dog, Dieter, playing golf (real and bar golf), and tearing it up on Rock Band. Lisa is also known to have the best disappearing act when we're out partying...into a cab.

This is Tonya - and she's going to appologize in advance for forgetting your name!

Actually this is Alice writing for Tonya (except for her personal goals...those really need to come from the heart so I made her write it). First of all as the title states, please don't be offended if Tonya doesn't remember your name, she's just really bad at it! Second of all, she's actually quite shy but warms up pretty quickly. I mean, just look how cute she is below...how could anyone not like her!

KO Crew #2 Tonya "Scooter" Lenaburg

Tonya aka Scooter is an UCSD Psychos alumni and former Psycho Captain. She's also played 6 years on Safari and 1 year with Showdown when she decided to spend a year in Texas Texas - Yee Haw! BTW, (still Alice writing here...) I heart Texas and am incredibly jealous of Tonya for going there without me!

Outside of Ultimate, Tonya is training to be a bad ass firefighter! She's often tired from all her training and stays home a lot, but when we get her to rally, she rallies BIG...Go Big or Go home right? Other interests include snowboarding, crossfit, wakeboarding, and making and tasting wine, mmm.

From Tonya: My personal goals for the season are to continue my athletic training to build on my explosion and vertical leap, and to meet new teammates, make new friends, and tear it up on KO!

#21 RosGOOD. My nicknames have nicknames.

What did the bedspread say to the sheet?

I've got you covered!

One of the first things you'll learn about me is I LOVE corny jokes. You know the ones your dad tells when your friends are over and you all start groaning? Yeah, love 'em. So you can always count on me to laugh at your joke, especially if it's bad. I'm a UCSD Psycho alumni, former captain, and former coach. I've played Safari for 4 years once I decided the ultimate scene in the summers in New Mexico wasn't quite exciting enough, and am always up for Hot Lava or Chulajuana Brothel Shenanigans (two of the best off-season teams. Ever). My goal this year is to be the most solid player on the field and to help make this team the one you want to party with, but are intimidated of playing.

Off the field, I run, ski, cook, do crafty stuff, try to wakeboard, and pretend I still brew beer. I'm Alice's partner in crime and we usually have some shenanigans up our sleeves!

Fun Fact #2: I've lived with everyone on the KO crew except Lisa, but I spend enough time at her house to be an unofficial roommate.

Alice? Who the Fuck is Alice?!

You mean besides being the #1 hit in the UK and Netherlands in 1995???

Oh...this is an Ultimate blog...so you want to hear about Ultimate...where do I start? How about with an Ultimate resume:

UPA series
Wisconsin Bella Donnas 2000-2003
Captain Bucket 2004-2005
Captain of Pleasuretown 2006-2007
Captain of Brown Chicken Brown Cow 2008-2009
Captain of Knock Out! 2010

For fun (there are so many here that I can't remember them all so feel free to remind me if I don't have you listed):
Co-founder of Winter/Spring DUDE leagues 2005 - present
Marooned - Australian Mixed Nationals 2002
Got Rice - Poultry Days 2002-2003
Taiwan Renegade Province - Singapore Flying Mooncake 2003
Mischief - World Championships 2006
PODO - Potlatch 2006
Captain of Hot Lava - Kaimana 2006-2009
Nutritious and Delicious - OLOB 2008-2009
Ring Leader of Arrogant Bastards - OLOB 2010

Outside of Ultimate, I globe trot, bike, hike, surf, rock climb, and try to conquer the universe one adventure at a time. At home, I love making smoothies and cooking food (sometimes lighting it on fire too)!

My personal goal for the season is to get into the best shape of my life, play disc with awesome teammates, while drinking them all under the table...seriously...except Tonya during a shot gun race...she's a beast and I'll sponsor anyone's night of drinking that can beat her!
