This last week has flew by!!! We have been so busy with trying to get people healthy and back on the field, practicing and now playing!! We finally had our first two scrimmage games. The first was a win against Lon Morris. We had two returners get the scoring started by each earning a goal, and then had a freshman forward crash the goal earning two goals to make the game a 4-2 win. The second scrimmage didn't go as smoothly for us, we came out a little sluggish and with the Cedar Valley girls coming out a more physical than our last game it took us awhile to adjust and get going. Once we found a rhythm things went a little better but we just couldn't find the back of the net, resulting in a scoreless tie.
Now having two games under belt, the team seems to beginning to mesh on the field better. We are starting to become a little more comfortable with the positions coach is playing us in, and starting to connect better on the field. All of us our really excited with how things are going and can't wait to get out on the field again as well as continue working hard to get better.
Although everyone will be getting busy now that CLASS is starting don't forget that our next game is this Tuesday September 1st, so come support your lady tigers against the University of Dallas at 7:00! See everyone there!

Becoming One
Everything has been crazy lately! We are so busy with training, playing, team meals, game nights, and of course a little something called fun night.
With practice becoming more intense each time, we've been working on 1 v. 1 and 2 v. 2 stuff to help shape our offense and defense, taking small side drills and applying them to game situations going to goal, and of course putting all these things into action by scrimmaging each other. We've been putting in a hundred percent at every practice and each is getting better and better. No one is ready to settle for just good or ok, so things are picking up and starting to come together more and more with each practice!
Although we've been working hard, when it comes to becoming close as a team and getting to know each other it can't be all work and no play! So we've also been having some fun hanging out and getting to know each other. We had a bit of team bonding by having a team lunch in one of the captain's room and playing some games.. maybe the biggest and most hilarious game of catch phrase I've probably ever played. We came together and had a bible study, and we also let the returners have a little fun getting to know each of the new girls personally with a make over, a bad hair do, and a little running around all over campus for some goofy activities. Everyone is really getting close both off and on the field! Now its all about getting back to work, giving it our all in practice and counting down the days to the first game! Get ready ladies!

Diving Into Things
We reported, had a ton of meetings, met the girls, got our stuff situated and met our roomies and now we're already getting down to business.
The meetings went good and everyone seems to be really excited, we have 18 new girls which is exactly what we needed to meet our goal of getting some depth this year! I am so excited we're finally back after everyone working hard over the summer. After last season of letting the playoffs slip away by one game, all the returners have a bitter taste in their mouth and aren't wasting anytime at getting after it and working hard to achieve the goal of reaching the playoffs this year but we aren't the only ones working hard; all the new girls have come in ready to compete and play just as hard as we are! Everyone is getting down to business and letting each other know that this season is going to be a challenging and competitive not only at games but at practice as well.
The first practices have seemed to run smoothly. Everyone seems a little nervous, but it all seems to be helping us compete together. This season is already getting off to a better start it seems with everyone getting along and getting to know each other, but also allowing us to have more competition to help us work harder and get better! The final practice of the first day of THREE-A-DAYS should be interesting in allowing us all to get some playing time with each other. This season should be very interesting as well as exciting for all of us!
