Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths and Weaknesses

March 14, 2010

After the Bentley game, we knew we had to step it up.  Looking back at the statistics and the game film revealed a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of our team.  We set out for practice on Friday and Saturday with the intention of improving our strengths and eradicating our weaknesses.

This weekend was pretty up-and-down for me.  After getting pumped up for a game against Wilmington University, Coach informed us that the game was postponed until the end of April.  Every girl was kind of sad about the rain delay—we were all secretly excited to be taking a cozy coach bus instead of the college vans to a game!

Following Friday night’s practice, Courtney, Sarah, Briana (or, as we all call her: Bellu), our friend Morgan and I went to the Dobbs Ferry Diner for a hot breakfast meal.  My French toast and chocolate milkshake proved to be an excellent choice for dinner.  I had an incredible time with the four of them, but I’m still astounded that Bellu and Morgan never heard of water ice before!!

Earlier today, Dana, Steph, Jackee, Callie and I set off for Velocity Sports in Elmsford.  Coach presented us with the opportunity to help teach some younger lacrosse players the sport, and we all excitedly agreed.  Unfortunately, due to the weather, the girls were unable to make it, but we’re all definitely thrilled that it may become a reoccurring event over the next few weeks!

Also, since I didn’t really bring it up in previous entries, I’m ecstatic to be named the first ECC Goalkeeper of the Week!  It’s awesome to be able to bring the first weekly honor to Mercy for the inaugural season, and it’s even better that it’s in the first edition.  I hope there’s many more to come for not only myself but my teammates in the next few months as our season continues to unfold! :)
