After a long week of early morning fitness tests, practice and school, we all came together and played our final games this spring against Carroll College and University of Montana. We all had one goal: show the other Montana schools what the MSUB women’s soccer program is made of. Despite it being the coldest day this spring, we came together, fought for each, and achieved our goal as we tied U of M 0-0 and beat Carroll 2-1. You could see all of our hard work in practice and conditioning has paid off as we really clicked and played together as a team. This spring, our team recorded 5 wins and 1 tie, scoring 18 goals and only letting in 2! The goals came from a lot of different people and it was great seeing everyone work hard and get rewarded for it. For the seniors, it was their last set of spring games and it is sad to think that the seniors only have one more semester of soccer:[

Now that spring season is over it is time for us to hit the books and study for finals in a week. Although everyone will miss seeing each other, it will be nice to be normal college students for a week. We can speak for everyone when we say: WE CAN’T WAIT FOR SUMMER. Most people get to go home, spend time with family and friends and, of course, do the summer workouts! We are leaving the spring on a good note and we will come back in pre-season ready for the fall!!!!

It has been a long week, full of training, homework and hosting four recruits. It is always good to see so many talented players visiting our school knowing how far our program has come and how far it will go in the future. It felt good to have our first 11 v 11 game against a college team this weekend. We played Rocky which is always a battle and we came away with a 3-1 win! You could tell we are starting to really click as a team and all the hard work during winter conditioning paid off as our fitness definitely set us apart from them. Next day we played Northwest College and we ended up 6-0 against them.
Baseball and softball seasons have kicked off here in billings and it officially feels like spring with the nice weather we have been having. It doesn’t get much better than hanging out with the team and our two new puppies! I may be a little bias but Dodger and Davy Jones are the cutest puppies ever and I cannot wait for them to watch us play at the COT in their MSUB bandanas.

Out Last.
