Looking Ahead to the NEC’s

After finishing out the season at UCONN Tuesday night, we are ready to get down to Maryland and play in this NEC Championship! I can’t believe it is already the end of the season; it has gone by sooo quickly. We had a rough couple of games to end the season. We had two very long road trips in a row, and I think we became a little tired and we were playing flat. Last weekend we went to Monmouth for a huge NEC game that we lost, and then we traveled upstate NY to Colgate and lost there as well. We just played really flat and the team was just kind of burned out. After a day off on Monday, we came out rejuvenated and played really well against UCONN. They are top 20 in the nation so we knew it was going to be a tough game, but we played really well and it was a great tune-up for our weekend. We are playing Mount St. Mary’s on Friday and it should be a really good game. We lost our regular season match up with them, 9-8, and it was a game that we really should have won. But we are playing a lot better now then we were back in the beginning of the season when we first played Mount. It should be a great game, and I know the team is really excited to get down there. We’ve lost in the NEC semi-finals for the past two years and I know this year everyone really wants to get over that hump. We are leaving really early Thursday morning to get down to Maryland and practice and get ready for our game on Friday. If we come out firing and play well as a team, I think we have a great chance to make it to the finals!!!
