This past weekend was tough on the team since we dropped our USA South semi final game to Greensboro. Their goalkeeper won the game for them - making 10 saves...one of them on me with a shot I definitely thought was going in. Collectively, we outshot them 21-8 however, like I've always said, shot counts don't necessarily matter. I twisted my ankle pretty bad in the first half but played through it in the second...we just couldn't seem to get over the hump. Needless to say I was scared that our season and my soccer days were over. On a positive note I received some exciting news over the weekend about an academic all-district award.
Here's a link to the published article. I was very honored to hear about this, however, my main concern lies with our team's success.
Luckily today we received some great news from the NCAA that we would be playing in the big dance for the fourth year in a row. I was pumped. Opponents, game times, and locations to be confirmed/decided.
Here's a link to the article with the official bracket. Thankfully with some solid rehab this weekend my ankle is on the mend and feeling strong as we kicked off another week of practice this afternoon.
Shouts to T and CUA on a successful season - hard to not make the tournament but I know a bright future lies ahead of them. Very proud of his first season in the collegiate ranks!
