Friday night, I played in one of the biggest games of my life. Although we are a Division 1 program, we mostly play smaller D1 teams. Last year, our "big" game was against USC . . . lets just say it didn't turn out so great. Last season's record wasn't so great either.
But hey, it's a new season, which means a new beginning! This weekend we're playing in a tournament at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. I must admit, before the game on friday I was pretty nervous because we were about to play the Navy. I'm pretty sure most people thought that we wouldn't have a chance of winning the game. I knew that our team could play with those girls though. And guess what . . . WE WON! With five minutes left in the game, a freshman on our team scored a goal, and we ended up winning 1-0. I must say, it was one of the most exciting feelings I've had in my time here at Winthrop. We showed everyone that we're a great team, and we can beat big time schools! With that big win under our belts, hopefully we can keep the wins coming all season, and bring in a Big South championship!
