Soccer Season 2011!!

What’s up guys...

 

 I’m here today because I want to tell y’all about the last women’s soccer season. Women’s soccer at Northwood is pretty big and the team is extremely good. We were Red River Conference Champions in 2010 and after a lot of obstacles, we ended the season in second in 2011!! If everything works out the way we plan, next season we will go to National Competition again. 

 Well like I said, last season we had a lot of obstacles.. We had a new coach and a completely new team. It took us awhile to start playing like a TEAM. We also had many injuries and sometimes we saw ourselves playing with exactly 11 players or even 9, when the number of players should be 11 v 11 every game. But trust me, this is a bad situation when you are practicing during the summer at 1 pm!! When the season started, we still had some people out because of injuries but after some ups and downs we finally made it to the finals.

                                                                                                             

In the first final we played against LSU in Shreveport and we killed them, the game ended 3x0. After that, we saw ourselves in the semi-finals and we played against Our Lady of the Lake University from San Antonio. The Semi-finals and final this year were in Wesleyan (our big rival) and they weren’t in the finals so just this fact made us happy already. The game ended 0x0, we went to overtime and in the second half of the overtime we scored after a foul to our favor from far away and that made it 1x0, Northwood winning. When the ref pointed to the middle (to signal the goal) of the field and ended the game, all of the Northwood fans that were there watching us play, invaded the field and in a big circle athletes, coaches and fans were praying and I swear that was the best game in the season that was craaaaaaazy!!! We were finally in the big final of the Red River Conference against the best team in the Tournament, University of Texas in Brownsville. We actually lost that game, but we knew that just to get there after everything we've been through together as a TEAM, we were already Champions. I’m really proud to be part of this team and to know that next season we are going to be the Champions, go to Nationals and kick butt in California!! :) Woooh!! \o/ \o/

See y'all later..
