Beep Test: Check. Two-A-Days: Check. Season Starting: Check.
After a long, sweat filled, tiring week the 2015 Plattsburgh Women’s State Soccer team is officially starting our season! After last preseason’s craziness with 40 girls coming in, a new coaching staff and a new field being put in place,this preseason was a lot more organized aka it wasn’t the hunger games. Everyone worked their tails off, which made preseason a lot of fun to be apart of! All of the ladies and myself were very worried about the beep test but we all pushed one another to go until one more beep. To be honest, just hearing that beep noise once makes me nervous, am I right ladies? But it’s all behind us because its regular season time baby!!!!
With some fresh new soccer gear our team may be the best looking team in the SUNYACs. You have to look good to play good :) We also got to take our roster pictures in our new away jerseys too! Despite the wind messing up some of the team’s hair at times, we are a good looking bunch and I can tell the season will be filled with lots of team selfies!
New Practice Shirts!
Picture Day!
With preseason coming to a close, we had a team dinner with a soccer girls favorite thing: lots of carbs! We had tons of pasta, chicken parm and lots of other yummy food! Shoutout to Ashlie Guinness and her family for the amazing food recipes to make our pasta dinner delicious and to get us energized for our first scrimmage vs. Saint Mikes the next day! For the first time playing against another team, everyone was so positive and really wanted to win. Anissa Hartmann was the first to score a beautiful goal right on top of the box! We connected on the field very well and hope the connection gets stronger as the season continues! We came up 1 goal short at the end but we did very well and can't wait to improve!
Pasta Dinner!
And than just like that school started today …. A relaxing way to ease back into the school life, the coaches planned a team BBQ with hamburgers, hotdogs and yard games. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon on a lovely day before classes start! Kelly Siry and I have gopros and will capturing some moments of the team throughout the season so here’s a quick video of our day yesterday!
Hope everyone has a great first week of classes and hopefully you don’t already have a test this week like I do. The Lady Cards have a scrimmage this upcoming Wednesday vs. Concordia University at 7pm at the field house! Come stop by and for a little preview for what the upcoming season will look like! :)
