Have you ever wondered who’s the GOAT of college frisbee? Ever wonder who’s the college frisbee assist leader, the way John Stockton leads the NBA in career assists? Ever wish you could compare the career stats of players who never played against each other? Now you can.
A new project has collected into one database the box score statistics from every D-I College Championships game since the tournament first began collecting stats in 2013. With this data, we can take a look at the best individual games, seasons, and careers of players who’ve attended the D-I College Championships.
The data is available in a Google Sheet here.1
A few quick notes before we begin:
- Per game data was not available for 2013, but full-tournament stat totals are included via the USAU Archive (here and here).
- Box score stats weren’t recorded for most pool play games in 2021, possibly due to COVID restrictions. This impacts everyone who played in 2021, but especially impacts players who didn’t make deep bracket runs2, like SUNY-Binghamton’s Jolie Krebs (more on her below!).
- The women’s division Pool C in 2014 is also missing box score data.
Aside from those exceptions, basically every game played at College Championships from 2014 onward is included in the data. Of course, statkeeping is a difficult job, and the data is unlikely to be completely free of errors, but it should be pretty close to what really happened.
So let’s take a look at some of the best performances the past thirteen years of College Championships have to offer, starting with single-game standouts and moving on to standout seasons and standout careers. At the bottom of the article, we’ll call out some of the current players poised to reach statistical milestones in 2026. Let’s jump in.

The above graph charts career goals to career assists at the D-I College Championships, with names added for the 10 players with the highest total scores (and their team’s logo replacing their data point). The table on the right shows players competing in the 2026 D-I College Championships that could move up the all-time scoring leaderboard, with their spot denoted in red.
Great Games at the College Championships
Goals

Exactly two players have scored 10 goals in a game at the D-I College Championships.
John Randolph of Brown scored 10 times against Colorado in a 15-10 semifinal win in 2019, in a game that’s available on YouTube. Brown beat North Carolina in the final 14-8 to win the 2019 title, and Randolph’s 30 goals for the tournament is fourth on the single-season goals list.
Julia Schmaltz’s 10-goal game for Texas coincidentally also happened in a semifinal game against Colorado, this one in 2017. Her performance was the subject of a video in Ultiworld’s Great Performances series; the full game can be watched on YouTube. Texas lost to Dartmouth in the final, but Schmaltz’s 38 goals in the 2017 tournament were the most we’ve seen in a single season in D-I.
Another four players have scored nine goals in a game; eight goals have been scored in a game five times, with two of them by Devin Quinn (UC Santa Barbara), once in 2023 and once in 2025. Caitlyn Lee scored eight goals in Dartmouth’s 2018 championship game victory over Colorado, the most in a championship game.3
| Name | # | Team | Opponent | G | A | B | T | Year | Division |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Julia Schmaltz | 13 | Texas | Colorado | 10 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2017 | women |

| Scott Whitley | 20 | Georgia | California-Santa Cruz | 9 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2025 | men |
In this table: All games of nine or more goals
Assists

While a double-digit assist game has happened exactly one single time at Club Nationals, there have been 16 double-digit assist games at College Nationals.
Han Chen stands alone at the top of the list with 12 assists for UCLA in a 15-12 pool play win against UCSD in 2017.
Jolie Krebs, Matthew Bennett (Texas A&M), and Quincy Booth (Georgia) are the only players with an 11-assist game. Ten players have recorded exactly 10 assists in a game, including (again) Jolie Krebs and two games by Quincy Booth. Jonathan Nethercutt (North Carolina) has two 10-assist games, including a quarterfinal win against Colorado in 2015, which is the furthest in the bracket4 that a 10+ assist game has happened.
There are 12 games of exactly nine assists, with Jolie Krebs and Quincy Booth again appearing on this list (plus another appearance by Nethercutt). Cal’s Dexter Clyburn has two nine-assist games.
| Name | # | Team | Opponent | G | A | B | T | Year | Division |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Han Chen | 25 | UCLA | California-San Diego | 0 | 12 | 2 | 7 | 2017 | women |
| Jolie Krebs | 24 | SUNY-Binghamton | California-Santa Cruz | 1 | 11 | 5 | 17 | 2024 | women |

| Quincy Booth | 1 | Georgia | Northeastern | 0 | 11 | 2 | 15 | 2023 | women |
*In this table: All games of 11 or more assists
Blocks

Janina Freystaetter recorded 10 blocks in Central Florida’s 15-2 win over Ottawa in 2016. Only two other players — Monisha White of Stanford and Jessie Sun of Pittsburgh — have recorded eight blocks in a game. No one has done exactly nine.
Monisha White’s eight-block performance happened in a 13-11 championship game loss to Oregon in 2015. Her full stat line was 4A/8B/22T5. You can rewatch the 2015 women’s final on YouTube.
Seven blocks in a game has happened seven times, including an eight-assist, seven-block game by Central Florida’s Sunny Harris in a 15-14 semifinal loss to Oregon in 2014. You can rewatch that game on YouTube.
Connor McFadyen’s seven-block game for UBC in a 15-12 win over Virginia Tech in 2017 is the most in a men’s division game.
| Name | # | Team | Opponent | G | A | B | T | Year | Division |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Janina Freystaetter | 11 | Central Florida | Ottawa | 3 | 5 | 10 | 1 | 2016 | women |

| Jessie Sun | 2 | Pittsburgh | Florida | 0 | 1 | 8 | 7 | 2018 | women |
*In this table: All games of 8 or more blocks
Plus/Minus6

Janina Freystaetter’s 10-block game (full statline: 3G/5A/10B/1T, +17) is also atop the list of highest single-game plus/minus.
Danielle Byers of West Chester (2018) recorded 6G/7A/7B/5T, good for second place at +15.
Lisa Pitcaithley of UC Santa Barbara (2014) holds third place, at +14, with 4G/8A/5B/3T.
Emily Kemp of Tufts (2024) is at 4th place with a +13 statline: 9G/2A/3B/1T. You can watch that pool play game against UBC (with an Ultiworld subscription).
+12 has happened seven times, including by Vermont’s Caroline Stone in a 2025 quarterfinal game available on Ultiworld. Chris LaRocque of Florida State (2015) is the only men’s division player to record a +12 or higher statline, with 2G/10A/0B/0T in a pool play game. His 40 assists for the tournament is the second highest single-season assist total we’ve seen.

“Plus”
Given some college teams rationally ask their best players to touch the disc a lot and take lots of risks, it also makes sense to look at the sum of goals+assists+blocks; let’s call it plus (i.e. plus/minus, without the minus). Here are a few more games where players really stuffed the stat sheet, but threw a bunch of turnovers, too:
The first three games mentioned in the +/- section above (Freystaetter, Byers, Pitcaithley) also top this list. Jolie Krebs’ 1G/11A/5B/17T performance in a 2024 game has a +/- of 0 but is tied for the third biggest game ever in terms of plus, at +17. Krebs played 17 tracked games in four years at Nationals7, and four of those games are in the top 25 plus performances of all time. If you’ve watched any random Jolie Krebs game at College Nationals, there’s roughly a 25% chance you saw one of the biggest games, statistically, of all time.
Quincy Booth is one of three players with a +16 plus game (0G/10A/6B). Her box score stuffing habit rivals Krebs’, with three games in the top 25 all time of plus and two more in the top 40.
Great Years at the College Championships
Goals

Julia Schmaltz (38 goals in 2017), Jack Verzuh of Dartmouth (33 goals in 2017), Benjamin Hoffman of Utah State (32 goals in 2022) and John Randolph (30 goals in 2019) are the only players with 30 or more goals in a single College Nationals. Jack Verzuh’s and John Randolph’s performances both came in years they led their teams (2017 Dartmouth women’s and 2019 Brown men’s, respectively) to the college title. You can watch the 2017 Women’s final here, featuring Schmaltz, Verzuh, and Angela Zhu (Dartmouth), three of the statistically most successful women’s division players of all time.
Benjamin Hoffman’s 32 goals for Utah State in 2022 came in only five games, giving him the highest goal-per-game average for a single year.
There have only been five other times that a player has scored 25 or more goals — Cal Nightingale (Brown, 27 goals), Barbara Hoover (Washington, 27), John Stubbs (Harvard, 26), Olivia Bartruff (Oregon, 25), and John Randolph again in 2018 (25 goals).
| Name | # | Team | G | A | B | T | +/- | Year | Division |

Assists

Jonathan Nethercutt (2015 North Carolina) stands a cut above the rest in the yearly assists total, recording 46 assists — no one else has ever recorded more than 40 (Chris LaRoque, 2015 Florida State). Nethercutt’s 2015 UNC team won the national championship trophy (rewatch the final on YouTube), as did the 2024 Brown team of one of the players tied for 3rd on this list, Jacques Nissen with 38 assists.
Brown’s famously star-centric 2024 offense also produced another player in the top 10 of single-year assists: Leo Gordon with 34 assists (T-10th). Brown’s 2024 championship game win over Cal Poly SLO featuring Jacques, Leo, and Cal Nightingale (mentioned in the previous section for his 27 goals) can be rewatched on the USA Ultimate Vimeo channel.
The per-game title goes to Jolie Krebs (2024 SUNY-Binghamton) with 38 assists in 5 games, an average of 7.6 per game. Quincy Booth (2023 Georgia) is just a tad behind her, with 37 assists in 5 games.
| Name | # | Team | G | A | B | T | +/- | Year | Division |

*In this table: All seasons of 36 or more assists
Blocks

Jenny Wei (2018 UNC) and Janina Freystaetter (2016 Central Florida) are tied atop the yearly blocks leaderboard, both with 24 blocks. Freystaetter’s 24 blocks came in one fewer game (five games vs. six) giving her the slight edge on a per-game basis.
Jessie Sun (2018 Pittsburgh) is credited with an incredible statline of 0G/2A/23B/19T, good for the third most single-season blocks.
Claire Trop of Dartmouth recorded years of both 22 blocks (2019) and 19 blocks (2018), while Dena Elimelech has a 20-block year (2019) and a 16 block year (2017).
Only two men’s division players have recorded 12 or more blocks in a single College Championships, while seventy-nine women’s division players have accomplished that feat. The top men’s division players on this list are Charlie Shaffner (2013 North Carolina, 15 blocks) and Connor McFadyen (2017 UBC, 12 blocks), followed by five players tied with 11 blocks, including some well-known stars like Dexter Clyburn (2024 Cal) and Lukas Ambrose (2019 Oregon).
| Name | # | Team | G | A | B | T | +/- | Year | Division |

Plus/Minus

The list of top plus/minus performances highlights many of the great seasons we’ve already seen in the sections above:
- +59, Jack Verzuh’s 33G/24A/16B/14T in 2017 (also 2nd most goals all time)
- +48, Chris LaRoque’s 12G/40A/3B/7T in 2015 (also 2nd most assists all time)
- +47, Jacques Nissen’s 13G/38A/8B/12T in 2024 (also T-3rd most assists all time)
- +45, Julia Schmaltz’s 38G/5A/7B/5T in 2017 (also most goals all time)
Only seven total players have posted a +/- of over forty; the ones not mentioned above are Claire Trop, John Stubbs, and John Randolph.
Elijah Diamond of Western Washington is the highest player on this list who remains active in college. His 2025 performance for Western Washington — 17G/28A/7B/14T — puts him just outside of the top 10 with a +38. He’ll have a chance to top that performance in 2026, with Western Washington again qualifying out of the Northwest.

“Plus”
Again, ignoring turnovers allows us to highlight a few more notable performances:
- Angela Zhu’s performance of 11G/35A/13B/35T (+/- of just +14, but 59 total G/A/B) for 2017 Dartmouth is tied for the second spot on this list, behind only her teammate Jack Verzuh, whose 2017 performance tops both the plus and plus/minus lists.
- Jolie Krebs and Quincy Booth once again stand out on a per-game basis, being the only players to ever record more than 10 combined stats (goal+assist+block) per game at a Nationals tournament — and both have done it twice, led by Krebs’ 5G/38A/15B in 5 games (1G/7.6A/3B per game) in 2024.
Great Careers at the College Championships
Goals

- Jack Verzuh tops the career goals list, with 82 goals for Dartmouth in four years.
- Devin Quinn (UC Santa Barbara) slots in at second place with 78 goals. She experienced a common progression of players on this list, trading goals for assists later in her college career as the team asked her to handle more throwing duties (she had 22G/2A in 2022 … and 14G/17A in 2025).
- John Randolph is third with 76 goals.
- Dawn Culton (North Carolina) makes her first, but not last, appearance in this article with 71 goals, good for fourth place.
Five more players have scored at least 60 goals in their College Championships career.
Note that the lack of 2021 pool play data really shows up in the career stats, as Devin Quinn’s and John Randolph’s statlines from that tournament are almost certainly incomplete (Dawn Culton’s UNC was one of the few teams that does have box score data from 2021 pool play).
| Name | #(s) | Team | G | A | B | T | +/- | Years | Division |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jack Verzuh | 21,22 | Dartmouth | 82 | 90 | 44 | 77 | 139 | 2016-2019 | women |
| Devin Quinn | 14 | California-Santa Barbara | 78 | 38 | 25 | 29 | 112 | 2021-2025 | women |

Assists

Angela Zhu is currently the career assists leader (and the only player with triple-digit assists) with exactly 100 recorded assists. Incredibly, she did that in only three years, with 27, 38, and 35 assists in 2015, ‘16, and ‘17 respectively.
Quincy Booth is just a beat behind, with 95 assists (also in three seasons!), and will almost certainly surpass Zhu during 2026 Nationals.
Ella Hansen (Oregon) and Jonathan Nethercutt are tied for third at 94 assists. Nethercutt played at the 2012 College Championships, which don’t have box score data, so he likely has a few assists more than the total recorded in this database.
Jack Verzuh is 5th, with 90 assists, the last player on this list with 90 or more assists in their college career. Only five other players have even recorded more than 80 assists, including some we’ve already mentioned in this article (Han Chen, Jacques Nissen, Jolie Krebs) and a couple we haven’t: Ben Dameron (North Carolina) and Jesse Shofner (Oregon).
A few players have the chance to join the list of 80+ career assists in 2026, including Lia Schwartz (Tufts), Anton Orme (Cal Poly SLO), Esther Filipek (Stanford), and Mica Glass (Oregon).
| Name | #(s) | Team | G | A | B | T | +/- | Year(s) | Division |

*In this table: All players with 90 or more career assists
Blocks

Dawn Culton (53 blocks) and Ella Hansen (50 blocks) are the only players with over 50 blocks in a College Championships career.
Another nine players have recorded at least 40 blocks, led by Rachel Wilmoth (Colorado, 47 blocks) and Dena Elimelech (UC San Diego, 46 blocks). Special shoutout to Claire Trop, who recorded 41 career blocks in only two years, the highest blocks-per-year average in our database.
Again the career blocks list is heavily populated by women’s division players, with Dexter Clyburn (California, 31 blocks) being the career leader in the men’s division, tied for 19th on the overall list. Marcus Rovner (North Carolina, 25 blocks) has the second-most blocks in the men’s division.
Zeke Thoreson of Colorado has the most blocks among active players in the men’s division. He has the 5th most blocks of all time in men’s, with 19 blocks in three years, and could end his career 2nd or 1st on this list.
| Name | #(s) | Team(s) | G | A | B | T | +/- | Year(s) | Division(s) |

Plus/Minus

Again, the career plus/minus leaderboard serves as a summary of some of the ridiculous statlines we’ve seen in previous sections, with the top five being:
- +139, Jack Verzuh (82G/90A/44B)
- +117, Dawn Culton (71G/47A/53B)
- +112, Devin Quinn (78G/38A/25B)
- +110, Ben Dameron (44G/87A/8B)
- +105, John Randolph (76G/45A/9B)
Those five are the only players who’ve surpassed +100 career +/-. Another five players are above +90: Ella Juengst (North Carolina, +99), Matt Gouchoe-Hanas (North Carolina, +98), Emily Kemp (+93), Jacques Nissen (+91), and Jack Williams (UNC-Wilmington, +90).

Wins and Point Differential

The best single season teams in terms of point differential are:
- +54: 2017 Dartmouth women’s
- +53: 2018 Dartmouth, 2013 Oregon, 2021 North Carolina (all women’s division)
- +52: 2015 Stanford women’s (who were +54 through six games before losing to the next team on this list…)
- +50: 2015 Oregon women’s
The top men’s division team by point differential is 2022 North Carolina, at +40.
The career leader for wins is UNC’s Dawn Culton, with 33 wins in 34 games from 2019-2024. The career leader in the men’s division is UNC’s John McDonnell, with 32 wins in 35 games from 2018-2023.
The first players on the career wins list who didn’t play for UNC are a group of nine players tied at 25 wins8, including seven players who played for Oregon women’s in the mid 2010s and two players who didn’t: Emma Capra of Colorado9 and Mae Browning of Washington and Vermont.
The career leader in point differential is again Dawn Culton at +216, followed by Alex Barnett (North Carolina) at +196. John McDonnell is again the highest ranked player from the men’s division at +167. A group of four players from the 2016-2019 Dartmouth women’s squad is the highest non-UNC group at +166.
Who to Watch for in 2026 (and Beyond)
A number of players are poised to improve their placement on various career leaderboards before the end of May. Here are a few to look out for:

Sage McGinley-Smith of Stanford is currently sitting at 7th all-time on the career goals leaderboard with 63 scores. A 20-goal performance in 2026 will take her to the top spot (currently held by Jack Verzuh with 82). She’s already scored 20 goals at Nationals twice, with 20 in 2025 and 22 in 2023. She could also approach the top 10 of career plus/minus.
Quincy Booth of Georgia will almost certainly set a new mark for career assists (as pointed out at the end of her excellent Callahan video). Angela Zhu is the current D-I career leader with 100, with Booth hot on her heels with 95 career assists (both numbers achieved in only three years at Nationals). Booth has averaged over 30 assists per year in her three years at College Nationals, and is a near certainty to smash Zhu’s record. Booth also has a solid chance to set a new mark for career blocks—her 40 blocks in three years at Nationals put her right on pace (13.3 per year) to tie or surpass Dawn Culton’s division-leading 53 career blocks.
Lia Schwartz of Tufts is currently 12th on the career assists leaderboard, with 77 assists. With 24 assists she would also pass Angela Zhu and reach 2nd on the career leaderboard behind only (presumably) Quincy Booth.
Mika Kurahashi of British Columbia is back at Nationals for the 5th time. After putting up a +27 plus/minus each of the past two years, she’s currently at 17th on the career plus/minus leaderboard. Another +27 year would vault her up to fifth all-time, behind only Jack Verzuh, Dawn Culton, Devin Quinn, and Ben Dameron.

Xavier Fuzat of Texas has a +77 +/- in four years at Nationals. If he can repeat his +31 from 2025, he’d become the 6th player with a career +/- over +100. With 36 career assists at college Nationals and only eight turns, he’s also one of the top players in our database in terms of assist/turnover ratio. Among players with at least 20 assists in their college Nationals career, his 4.0 A/T ratio trails only Patrick Earles (Pittsburgh) with 67 assists and 14 turnovers, a 4.8 A/T ratio.
Wyatt Kellman of Massachusetts is currently just outside the top 40 for career plus/minus, but with a great performance at Nationals he could conceivably jump to within the top 10 as well.
Anton Orme of Cal Poly-SLO, at 70 assists, and Mica Glass of Oregon (60 assists) will both move further up the career assist leaderboard, and could conceivably both end 2026 inside of the top 10. Mica Glass will be playing his fourth College Championships in 2026 and would have a great chance to become the all-time assists leader in the men’s division if he stays for a fifth year at Oregon.
Nathan De Morgan of Carleton was 2025’s Rookie of the Year on the back of his 10G/20A performance at 2025 Nationals with a +27 plus/minus in a national championship-winning performance. Cedar Hines of Western Washington likewise recorded 20 assists and an overall +25 plus/minus in his freshman season, finishing the year as second runner-up for Rookie of the Year. Keeping up this pace in future years could see them ending their college careers with some of the most impressive career statlines the college division has seen.
Elijah Diamond, Hines’ teammate on Western Washington, put up a monster statline of 17G/28A/7B in 2025. His +38 was the 12th highest single-season plus/minus we’ve seen in D-I. Because Western Washington didn’t make Nationals earlier in his college career, he’s unlikely to challenge for the career leaderboards, but is on the watchlist for another incredible single-year statline in 2026.

Finally, a few players in the women’s division have a good chance to surpass the current career mark for turnovers, currently held by Northeastern’s Clara Stewart with 162. Quincy Booth is currently only one behind at 161, and is almost certain to end 2026 atop this career leaderboard. Esther Filipek of Stanford (136 turnovers) and Lia Schwartz (132 turnovers) will also both have a chance to top the previous record. No disrespect meant to any of these three, who are some of the best throwers currently playing in college — so it’s no surprise their teams ask them to carry the load of taking risky shots.
