Trina Bender

Birthday- January 15TH , 1975

Nickname-Trix

How you got the nickname-Actually, Trix WAS my favorite cereal when I was a kid. And it sounds like the first part of my name. I like practical jokes too, you know 'tricks'.

Position- Back Center

Gun-2002 blue/black fade Intimidator

Number- 4

Why you like paintball- It's fast and fun, I love the adrenaline rush, and it gives Doug and I something fun to do together on the weekends.

How you got into paintball-My husband Doug got into it about 4 years ago and talked me into going with him. I had so much fun that I decided to go more often. When he bought me the Angel, I decided that I was hooked for good! Now we take Jr. High and High Schoolers out to play every month to share this cool sport with them.

In one word, your style of playing-Tough

Things you don't like about paintball- Cheaters and getting bunkered.

What your take is on being an all girls paintball team- It's very cool. I am more confident about communicating and being understood on the field. It is easier to bond and have good chemistry with an all-girls team, but it is also fun to show the guys that we can compete in this sport too.

How you got into paintball- Well Elicia and Ashley were playing some weekends and kept telling me to come out, I was really hesitant at first because getting shot at didn't sound like a good time. But when I eventually did, I was hooked for life!

In one word, your style of playing- determined

Things you don't like about paintball- Wipers! Whiners! How much money it takes and how I can't sleep in anymore!

What your take is on being on an all girls paintball team- I think its really cool, I like it so much. But sometimes I really feel intimidated but it always pushes me to work harder to try to show up all the guys and to show them we can play.

Leslie Thurman

Birthday- August 9, 1987

Nickname- Frosher

How you got the nickname- Erica gave it to me because I am going to be a freshman F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! (at least at heart)

Position- Middle right

Gun- 2001 silver and purple Dark Angel

Number- 2

Why you like paintball- Paintball gives me a chance to get away. I love the adrenaline rush and the rewarding feeling you get when you win.

How you got into paintball- Some of my best friends invited me to play, and then they wanted me on their team.

In one word, your style of playing- Do you have to ask? FROSHER!!

Things you don't like about paintball- It takes a lot of time and commitment not to mention money (if you are really serious about it) but it all pays off in the end.

What your take is on being on an all girls paintball team- I love it so much! It's way better than doing an ordinary school sport. Plus the way it feels to excell in a male dominated sport is indescribable! I mean I came in expecting to be somewhat shunned or looked down on for being a girl, but in reality they treat us like equally and that's important to me. So I guess in a paintshell, it's the best thing I have done so far!
