Team Biography

Founded in the fall of 1993, University of North Carolina Darkside has grown to become one of the nation’s perennial powerhouse ultimate programs in the 25 years since. Darkside earned its first bid to nationals in 1999. More recently, Darkside has won the Atlantic Coast Regional Tournament in four of the last five years, as well as steadily improving its finish at nationals, culminating in a first place finishes in both 2015 and 2018. Lead by a core of seniors like Matt Gouchoe-Hanas, Elijah Long and Walker Matthews, this year’s Darkside squad is ready for action. As of late, Darkside’s sidelines have risen to the occasion and can be seen swinging cow bells and somersaulting after scores. Darkside hopes to ride a wave of resurgence all the way to the D-I College Championships.
