NAME: Veronica "Kspa" Kolegue-Spalaris - Captain #17
MAJOR: Japanese and Globalization Studies
POWER ANIMAL: Meowlly
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: Besides the culture and shorts? That I can lead the team through excruciating, painful, conditioning and my coaches praise me for it.
BIO: Can I hammer it? Besides catching my D's and break side cuts, I sometimes hang back to swing the disc mostly so I can huck it into the end zone. That is, if my defenders don't catch them with their throats.

Name: Margaret Ritchie- Captain #18
Major: Political Science
POWER ANIMAL: Deer
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: Besides my love for playing frisbee, Deception has a great sense of family which is what initially drew me in and has to be my favorite aspect. From the very beginning the team all made me feel welcomed and they have always helped me inside and outside of frisbee. The frisbee community is full of amazing people and I am lucky to have found a team like Deception to be a part of.
BIO: I come from a small farming community known as Springville, located in the Buffalo region. Throughout all of my high school career I was very involved in soccer and had never touched a frisbee. Except for the occasional game of Kan Jam in which no one wanted to be my partner due to my inability to throw a frisbee straight. That changed soon after I joined Deception. I plan on being a part of Deception for the rest of college and hope to be involved in frisbee for the rest of my life.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DECEPTION: I love how easy it is to talk to these girls about anything. There is no judgment about anything because we are all so quirky.
BIO: I am a city girl who loves deli bagels with A LOT of cream cheese and tea. My friends call me a klutz because I will walk into anything whether or not it is moving. I love comedies, chick flicks, swimming, volley ball and long random talks with my sisters and best friends that usually end up with us staying up all night because we had too much sugar.
