St. Kate's vs. Simpson

Date: 9/5/09 
4 pm at Simpson 

Crowd: 130 

Weather:   
According to the weather report, it was a fair 81 degrees.  However, on the astroturf, it felt like a solid 93 degrees.  The wind was going east to southeast at 10-16 mph, which wasn't enough to keep the team cool.  It was extremely sunny, and much sunblock was applied (including Vaseline to prevent turf burns...thanks, Steve!). 

Starters: 
Bridget Berry        
Kayla Engel
Kim Engel             
Brittni Deeb           
Liesl Wolf             
Koletta Dorsher   
Kaitlin Kramer       
Gina Thorwick      
Claire Saunders  
Megan Gosselin   
Kelsey Nister         

Pre-Game: 
On the bus with Barney, we enjoyed another episode of One Tree Hill and a soccer video from Toby (with a lot of shots of Cristino Ronaldo :D).  We had a good warm up, quickly adjusting to Simpson's astroturf.   

Game: 
We had a rough start, going down a goal 20 minutes in the the game off of a corner kick.  At half time, we refocused and realized what we needed to do to dominate.  In the second half, we connected more passes, won balls in the air, and still maintained a solid defense.  Even though we upped our game, we couldn't find the back of the net, losing 1-0. 

Post Game: 
Once again, we ate more pizza.  On the five hour drive home, we watched Just Friends, which Steve thought was a, "good effort."  After the movie, we continued to watch more One Tree Hill.  We left the bus wondering if we will ever see Barney again.  He will be missed.  Him and his shinny shoes.   


Next Up: 
We play Buena Vista at 2 pm on Sept. 12.  First home game of the season!!
