Back and settled in from a long weekend of rain, mud, and unfortunately two losses. We took the long trip to Abilene to play at Hardin Simmons, who hosted the tournament this year. Ready to get our revenge on Austin College and Rhodes from beating us last year, we set up in a defensive 4-4-2 for both games playing Rhodes first Friday afternoon. We came out pretty aggressive but got behind late in the first half coming out 1-0 to start the second. Boo Davis scored a goal to tie it on a breakaway with just her and the Rhodes keeper scoring our only goal of the weekend and to bring us back into the game. Although we played hard we kept letting the girls on the Rhodes team turn and have open looks at the goal until late in the second half they scored their final goal to beat us with a 2-1 win. We couldn't get everything straightened out in time for Saturday's morning game and although we battled and played hard it just wasn't enough and we settled for a 2-0 loss to Austin College.
Although we have been working hard we just haven't been playing to our potential and have been settling for less than our best, but this week with preseason over we are working even harder this week to prepare for our conference opening weekend against McMurry this Friday at 2 and Hardin Simmons at 2 on Saturday. We are realizing where our mistakes have been made and now are doing our best to get all the kinks and jitters worked out so we can start playing to our full potential. We have all the players this year we need to do work this season, so now its all about putting it into action! Let's work hard this week girls and show these conference teams that we mean business this year!
