#26

Alma Mater: Stanford University

Former teams: Stanford Superfly (04-06); Ambush (06-07)

My favorite ultimate moment(s): I have two.

1) Santa Barbara Invite 2006, finals. We had been trading points with UCLA, scores were close. UCLA stacks up in the endzone, we're on on D. My girl cuts to the back cone, and has a couple steps on me. Disc goes up and I lay out past her to get the D, which fires everyone up. I ended up injuring my rotator cuff but we end up scoring the next two points to win the tourney.

2) Chesapeake Open 2007, pool play. We pull to a team and I sprint down as the pull play develops. The disc swings to my girl and I completely handblock her. The disc just drops, completely tacoed. My girl, in frustration, throws down her hat down and stomps off the field. Seizing this opportunity, I make a fast break for an easy score.

Heather Ingram
#8
Birthplace: Arlington, VA
School: Haverford College and Yale University SOM
Former Teams: Philly Peppers, Donkey Bomb, Animal (to name a few)

Heather aka Hetha', is enjoying her sophomore year on Ambush. She grew up playing in Philly's PADA going back and forth between womens and mixed. She attended her first UPA Nationals as a rookie on the Philly Peppers in 1998 as well as the first mixed nationals in 2000 in Minneapolis with Philly's Donkey Bomb. In 2007 (after coming off a few years of grad school and an ACL injury) she was thrilled to be able to return to Sarasota with a young scrappy hot-as-hell Ambush team. Her teammate TT's summation of her is probably the most succinct description of her as a player: "Heather is a chill solid handler but like a total crazy nut off the field."

About Us

NEW YORK, NEW YORK- AMBUSH started in 1997, and for our tenth birthday we gave ourselves a trip to Nationals. We are a product of New York City: scrappy, ambitious, tough. Our team changes every year but the spirit and heart remain. For 2008 we've got our core returners and a ton of new talent, and we're thrilled to be on the scene once again.
