Mud Fest!




The year of rain has continued! The past two weeks has been filled with rain, rain and more rain! The opening weekend this past weekend was a little challenging with our field basically being turned into a lake, but when it came time to play we didn't let that slow us down. Instead we adapted to the field conditions, played our best, and ended up coming out with 1-0 record in conference for the weekend. Although we were able to play on Friday and lock a 7-0 shutout win over McMurry, Saturday was another story; after us playing the field was completely tore up and the officials cancelled our game on Saturday against Hardin Simmons. It wasn't what we wanted but there wasn't much that we could do about it due to weather conditions and safety issues. Therefore the game goes on neither teams record and we both just go on competing for top spot in the conference. Although the game was cancelled, we still enjoyed some barbecue thanks to our parents and supporters who tailgated for us this weekend and will be continuing to do so at most of our home games!

After our big win this weekend we were all excited, but we have kept a level head knowing that this weekend coming up as we travel to UMHB and UHP that these two games are very crucial and tough games for us. Both these teams were picked to come out right above us in conference standings this year and therefore it is very crucial that we win these games so we can get ahead. In practice this week we have been working so hard on one and two-touch quick play and changing our point of attack so that we can pass around these teams and get better at working together and not being so predictable. Its been tough to work hard with weather conditions but it hasn't slowed us down at all, but instead motivated us to work even hard and control our touch more. Coming out of this hard week of practice we can't wait to get out on the field and surprise these two teams with how much we improve each week. Get ready ladies we have a tough weekend ahead of us and we have our work cut out for us in conference!

-We Are One!
