The game we had been waiting for came last Wednesday- EMU. EMU has always been at the top of the conference; the team to beat. The day before the game, we had a preparation practice for EMU to get us ready for their style of play. We worked hard to prepare, and at the end of practice we knew we were ready. We all went to class on Wednesday with instructions to think of the game and how we wanted to play. This was the one day Coach allowed us to not pay attention in class and only focus on the game. it's all I could think about that day, and I'm sure it was the same for all the other girls. In the locker room, we were all getting focused, thinking about everything we needed to do to beat EMU. From the time we stepped on the field, we hung with EMU; although the scoreboard showed 3-0 at halftime, we played well. We came out from halftime with the mentality to win, and scored three goals by the end. Despite our efforts, EMU managed to slide past us by one goal. We were happy that we played with them this year, as our score from last year was 5-1, but we were disappointed that we didn't win.
Taking a break from conference games, we played Wilson College on Friday. We didn't think we played as well as we should, I think we may have taken them a little too lightly, but we pulled out the win in double overtime 2-1. it's been a tough week for everyone, I know we all have had a lot of school work and lots to focus on. The break over the weekend helped everyone to refocus on the games we have coming up this week. Important conference game today against Sweet Briar; we're expecting a win :) ( note BC defeated Sweet Briar 5-0)
