2-0 Weekend

Finally pulled in our first wins of the season this weekend with a solid 2-0 victory over Shenandoah on Friday night and 3-1 against VA Wesleyan (a local rival) last night. I played well in both halves of both games and created a number of opportunities.  I was so glad to have mom and dad come up and visit and watch this weekend as well.  They are so supportive and enthusiastic and I couldn't be more thankful to have them in my life.  I'm very thankful for the time I'm getting on the field (although I always want more) and glad we finally got ourselves on a winning track this weekend.  Will continue with the energy/intensity/focus through this week as we prepare to travel south for our conference season openers.  Here's a pic of the new uniforms in action from a special someone in the stands:

Also a shout out of congrats to Tyler on a great weekend of soccer on the road as he pulled in his first collegiate assist.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Short Week Rollin

This week is rolling by fast since we had no classes on Monday and Tuesday.  It was great having a break from travel and class...I was able to catch up on a lot of work and rest.  Soccer is rolling along fine...we won big last night against Shenandoah 4-0 despite a ton of rain that came down the second half.  I'm continuing to get good minutes so I can't complain.  We finish out practice this week and then have this weekend off from activity.  Our next game is on Wednesday at home versus Mary Washington under the lights.

Wednesday and Thursday

The week has been moving so fast after fall break that its been hard to keep up!

Had a good game against Shenandoah on Wednesday night. It was a long trip and we played on a fast turf field. Sam and I came in with 8 to go in the first half and then I was able to play roughly another 20 in the 2nd. We won 3-0 and I am more pleased with my minutes than I was a week ago. Then a long drive back to CNU for a 1 am arrival last night and up early for my 8 am class this morning.

Despite our slip in the national and regional rankings this past week we are remaining optimistic. Here is a nice video clip of the team from the local news station up here.

We had a light practice scrimmage this afternoon and looking forward to our next game at home this Saturday night. Leg feeling good, staying optimistic.

Tuesday Practice

Coming off an off day on Monday we returned to practice today. Leg feeling great, knock on wood, and I played well. Passing/long ball drills, followed by half-field games and a large game with crosses. On a long bus ride tomorrow to play Shenandoah.
