We had a really busy spring break week; I’m actually kind of excited that it’s over. We had two games over the week, so we had two overnight trips and then stayed in Hamden for the rest of it. I kind of like the campus over spring break because it was just us and the men’s lacrosse team, so it’s nice and quiet. We had team meals, practice and lifting everyday we didn’t have a game, so we were on campus from about 9am to 6pm everyday. It was kind of a long day, but it was a good because we really bonded as a team because we were around each other so much.
On Tuesday morning we left for Philadelphia, for our game against LaSalle. We practiced at LaSalle when we got there and then went to the King of Prussia mall. It was a huge mall and a lot of fun; we spend about 3 hours there and just went shopping. Our game on Wednesday against LaSalle was really good. It was about 72 degrees at game time, which was a nice change from the freezing cold weather we had been playing in.
The warm weather would not last however, because Friday we got about a foot and a half of snow and had to practice inside. We left for Boston Saturday morning to play Harvard on Sunday. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day, we were supposed to walk around Boston after we practiced but it was so cold and rainy that we ended up just going back to the hotel. The game on Sunday was against Harvard was horrible. It was about 20 degrees and snowing the entire time. It was a huge difference from when we were playing in the warm weather just four days earlier!
All in all it was a good break, but our schedule was intense so it will be nice to get back into our normal daily routine. We had off on Monday and will practice the rest of the week to get ready for our game on Friday!
