The first home game for Soar, Oregonâs women's professional ultimate frisbee team, took place at the University of Oregon amidst a supportive crowd, though they were behind at halftime. Team cofounder Darci Fredricks stressed the importance of establishing a solid future for the new team over just winning games. In 2025, Soar will team up with the men's team, Steel, to develop a lasting sports alliance, ensuring both teams receive equal resources and attention, addressing gender disparities in sports.
"Yes, we want to play to win, but the most important part is building a foundation for the future."
"She flies with her own wings," referring to both the state motto and the way players soar through the air.
