Seattle Riot (Ultimate)

Riot is an elite-level women's ultimate team based in Seattle, Washington. Riot was founded in 2000, after the previous top-level women's team in Seattle, Women on the Verge, disbanded.[1] They were the women's champions at the 2004[2] and 2005[3] UPA Club Championships (now USA Ultimate). They have also won the WFDF World Ultimate Club Championships in 2002 and 2014.[4][5][6]
