Game versus Martin Luther College

Date: 9/1/09

Crowd: 73 

Weather:   
As we walked onto the field, laced up and ready to go, we felt the sun's rays on our backs, and the air was filled with anticipation.  It was approximately 72.3 degrees, and a slight breeze (going west to east) at 3 mph blew through our jerseys and our locks of hair.  We peered in the sky and noticed it was partly cloudy.  Suddenly, we noticed something peculiar: a cloud in the shape of a lucky rabbit's foot, bring us good fortune.

Pre-Game: 
On the way down, people either napped, watched Just Married, or talked/ Bridget and KP had a dance party.  Our warm-up was decent.  We jogged did static and dynamic stretching.  We played possession and finished off our warm-up with some shooting.   

Game: 
We started the game with some really good possession and earned a quick goal by Claire Saunders.  Claire and Kelsey were the leading scores with four and three goals, respectively.  The final score was 11-0, and MLC only had one shot. 

Post Game: 
We had a good cool-down, grabbed some ice, and hopped back on the bus with Barney, the Bus Driver.  We watched some One Tree Hill, Steve's new favorite teen drama.  Regretfully, in the middle of the trip, someone let out some air contaminants that brought some to tears.  After, we rushed off the bus at the Butler to get some fresh air.  Also, we enjoyed some pizza, which hit the spot. 

Next Up: 
We are traveling down to Iowa to play Central Iowa on Friday and Simpson on Saturday.
