Well our team didn't win the national championship but we had a great time in Florida [View All]

You can't beat a 4 day all expenses paid trip to Orlando Florida courtesy of the NCAA. Our women's soccer team made it all the way to the Division III Final Four this year. We lost to a bunch of bible thumpers from Central Pennsylvania in a game that quite frankly we should have won. I don't think the loss would have stung as much if we lost to any other team, my girls apparently have a palpable hatred for this team and have felt this way for the past several years. I think it was topped off when the one girl started quoting scripture during the team speeches portion of the athletic banquet. However the mood was lightened when a young man from the Middlebury (Vt.) soccer team started laughing during the middle of it. It took all of our collective willpower not to start laughing with him and really look rude. The girl that gave our team speech did a fine job and thanked the athletic training staff (which every other college there neglected to do). If you want to thank Jesus for allowing you to get this far...fine...whatever...but I never saw God out there in pre-season taping blisters and rehabing hamstrings...I'm just sayin...

So yeah we lost in the first game but that gave us all Friday night and Saturday to do what we wanted. So some of the coaches and myself went to Pleasure Island and got sloppy drunk and had a great time Friday night...Saturday when we were all hungover was less fun...oh and the bible thumpers lost in the national title game so that gave us some comfort
