This past week us Lady Cards were thinking about soccer 24/7 with three big games. First, we took on a physical game against Keene State, which we won 5-2. The scoring started with our senior captain Cassidy and than there was no stopping us. Sophomores Mad Sac, Sarah Haight and Cait Gagen all had there first goals of the season as well! Whatever the sophomores ate that day, they should share some with the team :) Totally was the Panera ....... To finish off our first game of the season, Cass scored her second goal of the game! As the first roadie game of the season, we all had positive attitudes to continue working hard at practice for our upcoming big weekend for the North Country Classic. On Saturday we faced Saint Lawrence and Sunday we played Clarkson. Despite the high temperatures of the weekend, we put good effort and work ethic on the field.
The Saint Lawrence game was a battle from the beginning. Going into the second half, we knew we had to score first. After a ball from Mad Sac, Sarah Haight finished to put us up 1-0. As our momentum and energy carried throughout the game, we did not get the result we all had wanted but knew what we had to fix for our game the next day. The morning of Clarkson game we all knew our role to come out strong against Clarkson. We connected well through passes, swinging the ball and did a lot of good movements on and off the ball which we practiced the past week. Anissa Hartman took a strong shot to tie the game 1-1 in the first half. Although coming up short with a score of 2-1, there was lots of good vibes coming from everyone knowing we have a long journey ahead of us.
Our team wants to win and it's up to us to get the outcome we want. We all have the same goal/dream and we know what we need to do to get there. One thing I absolutely love about this team is how everyone picks one another up when we need it the most. Although this past weekend was rough, it was a learning experience for all. The great Carli Lloyd once said, "I think you get a little out of winning and more out of losing because it's about the struggles. It's about the obstacles. It's about overcoming them." Win together, lose together, we are one family :)
Our next game is this evening at Union at 7 pm and we have another upcoming game this Saturday at Elmira at noon! We got this Cards!!! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baKWZDPNgiE
