Tough Road Weekend

The Bridgewater field hockey team hit the road this weekend to play games against two different nationally ranked opponents. On Friday night we traveled to Lynchburg to play the 11th ranked Hornets on their home turf. We played a great game against Lynchburg but lost 4-1. However, we held the smallest score differential against the Hornets out of all the other ODAC field hockey teams. We had a light practice on Saturday to recover from our game the night before and to ensure we did not wear ourselves out for the game against CNU on Sunday. On Sunday we traveled down to CNU for a 2:00 game against the Captains. CNU is ranked 8th in the nation and we held our own against them. We had great passing patterns throughout the game and everyone played with all we had, but we lost 2-0. Even though we lost, it was one of the closest scores we have ever had against CNU and we were proud of our performance against them. We have the last game of the regular season this Wednesday at 4:00. We will be playing ODAC rival Washington and Lee here on our home field so we expect to see a bunch of fans there!

Looking Forward to Senior Day

After a few days of dreary weather last week, the Bridgewater field hockey team traveled to Frostburg State University in Maryland to play a game on Saturday. Despite playing on an unfamiliar turf field we ended up winning 3-2! Last night we traveled across town to play a game at EMU. We all felt a huge rush of adrenaline while playing under the lights. We played hard and gave it everything we had, but we ended up losing 4-0. Even though we were all disappointed about the loss, we also all felt a drive to work even harder in practices and in games to prove to everyone that we are a great team. We will bring this drive to succeed into our game on Saturday when we will play Roanoke at home at 4:30. This is also our senior game so we will be celebrating the success of the six seniors on the field hockey team. Come out on Saturday to see a great ODAC game and to support the Bridgewater Eagles field hockey team!
