CONFERENCE!

It’s FINALLY conference week! This week starts the best part of the season. Now we get to play our conference games. We ended last week with a 6-0 win against Southwestern Christian at home Tuesday. Then that Friday we loaded up the bus to Friends University in Wichita, KS. We got another win by 1. Those games are important, but they are more like preparation games. We have been training all season for this. Our conference is full of aggressive and talented teams. The preseason coaches’ poll put us at sixth in the conference. We’re ready to prove them wrong!

The next couple weeks are going to be tough. We play Wayland Baptist and Lubbock Christian at home this week. Then next week we travel to Bethany, OK to play Southern Nazarene. They are definitely are rivals, and we have some unfinished business to take care of! Then we finish off the week with Oklahoma City and Lindenwood(last nonconference game) at home.

Come out and support us! Tomorrow girls are at 5, and boys are at 7. Then on Saturday come out at 1 and 3!!

Shout out to Sara Williams! She came to practice and played World Cup with us a couple weeks ago. She even gave me compliments on my blog. Thanks, girl! You’re awesome :)

Updaaaate!

It's been a long two week for us girls! On the 6th we played Avila University. It was another hard game for us that sent us into overtime. We came out with a tie, but a win was what we needed. Then three days later, we played ORU at their field. It was definitely a big challenge to play a Divison 1 team at their home field. We fought hard, but we did lose our first game of the season. We might have lost 2-0, but we walked onto the field unafraid. I learned that no matter who the opponent is, we can step on that field and fight til the last whistle is blown.

This past week was awful only because we had no games scheduled. We are in the heart of the season and all of us are just dying to get back on the field. Even though we haven't played a game, we have definitely grown as a team. We started the week with two very hard practices. The sprints and hard drills pulled us together. We supported each other when players felt like they couldn't go anymore or if a player was not performing to her full potential. We continued the week with technicial practices. Thursday, we came out to support the boys in their 6-0 win against Bacone College. The boys are lucky they have fans like us. We sat in the rain and cold for them!

Friday, we established our weekly Friday Game Day. Every Friday when we don't have a game, we play World Cup against each other. We break into teams of three, and the goal of the game is basically to knock the other teams out and be the last one standing. It's a lot of fun. We basicially do it for bragging rights. We played in the rain for an hour just so someone could win the trophy. And no, my team did not win. Do I sound bitter? Oh yeah, I do.

Saturday, we ran the Race for the Cure! It's an annual thing now for our team. It's a great cause. We even got a shoutout from the announcer :)

Tuesday we finally get to step onto Soldier Field! Girls play at 4, and guys are at 6! Let's get a win, ladies!!!
