The Bridgewater Field Hockey team faced a roller coaster of emotions this past week. On Thursday, we played a game in the pouring rain at Shenandoah and ended up losing 1-0. We had opportunities in that game, we just could not capitalize on them. We were all upset over the loss, and we knew we needed to fix some tactical skills and pick up our intensity for the remainder of the season.
We proved we had sorted things out as a team when we faced St. Mary’s College of Maryland yesterday at home and beat them in overtime 2-1. This team was ranked 20th in the nation and we were ecstatic to pull off such a huge upset. Other ODAC teams had faced St. Mary’s and lost badly, but we did not back down from the challenge. We were all exhausted from playing the overtime game in yesterday’s heat, but we were so proud to see our hard work during practice pay off.
Our next game is this Saturday at Sweet Briar, and our next home game is Wednesday, the 29th at 4:30. We hope to see a bunch of fans there!
