This past Thursday our team beat Western Oregon 2-0. It was not our prettiest game of soccer, but nonetheless we got the job done, with two corner kick finishes. We headed into Saturday’s game against Saint Martin's University with a record of 7-1-1 knowing that it was not going to be an easy game. Our team has a history with Saint Martin's, and they have always been tough to beat. Saturday was no exception and we found ourselves down at half 2-1. At halftime our team knew that we were going to have to come out fighting to get the result and we did eventually tie the game at 2-2, but at the end of the day we came up short. We lost 3-2 to Saint Martin's University making our record 7-2-1. However, even though we did not win the game, we still played strong and pushed till the very end. We have an outstanding team and we know that the loss cannot affect our next game. We take in the feeling of the loss, we get upset about not winning, but we do NOT dwell on the past and we keep moving forward. This game did not break our season, if anything it will help to make us stronger. We do not want to feel the shame of another loss and I know that our team will step up and make great things happen for the rest of the year. We learn from our mistakes and we grow from correcting them. When life hands you lemons you make lemonade. And our team is thirsty for more wins so we will take the lemon that was thrown at us and we will make some awesome lemonade! :)
This week we only have one game to prepare for. We will be traveling down to Nampa, Idaho to play Northwest Nazarene on Thursday, and the game will be on Saturday. Northwest Nazarene has been doing well this year and it will be a good game, BUT I know that our team is up for the challenge and we will settle for nothing less than a WIN! I am very proud to be on this team, and I respect every one of my teammates! I know that we will have a great rest of the season and it starts on SATURDAY with our EOP!! (Eyes on the prize)
