two umw victories this weekend

Another long weekend of soccer, two games, two wins! Saturday's match was against Wesley College from Delaware. After a very long, ugly first half, no goals had been scored. Our coach was NOT happy with how we were playing (no one was, really) and he took off all of our starters. By the end of the half we were playing a man down, that's how pissed he was. After a nice half time "talk" we came out and played much better in the second half. It took us not even 45 seconds to score our first goal, and we scored another 5 minutes later. The game ended 4-0.

Our second match was at Averett University in Danville, VA. We got on the bus at 6am and headed south. After the poor start to yesterday's game, we were threatened with several days of fitness if we didn't bring some intensity right from the start. We scored in the middle of the first half, but they came back with a goal several minutes later. In the second half, we dominated the possession, and finally scored with about 20 mins left. We held on to our 2-1 win, went to pizza hut, and watched a few movies on the long bus ride home.

No practice today :) but it will be a hard week leading up to our next conference game on Saturday at home against Frostburg University.
