FINALLY A WIN!!

So this past weekend was a pretty good one!! We had a home game friday night under the lights against UTAH STATE an instate rivlry so the team was amped and ready to play!  It started great simply by the fact that THE TEAM sang the national anthem because something went wrong with the computer and they couldn't get the recording to play...let me tell you that was quite the national anthem! haha...we played well and very aggresivly!  We had come off a tough weekend in oregon loosing one game 3-2 and one 1-0 in OT.  So we came out and won against UTAH STATE and got our first shutout!! YAY for the DEFENSE!!  We won the game 2-0.  Great to win at home in front of one of our biggest crowds ever!  We had about 1,500 out at the game, so that was a fun atmosphere!  

We had practice the next morning we did a light kick around and watched some video of the game the night before then got on the bus to the airport.  We flew to L.A. to go play LMU.  I got to go out to dinner with Hannah (one of my lovely roommates origionally from San Clemente) and her family to dinner.  We went to Riviera, a mexican place!! I was so happy!! I have been craving some good mexican and it hit the spot!  We went back to the hotel and got some rest for our game the next afternoon!  

We played LMU and held them scoreless.  We had a lot of opportunities!  In fact we outshot them 19-8! After the first half the shot count was 10-1 in our favor!! No complaining on the defenses part!!  But we went to 2OT with them and just could not get lucky with our chances...we had one they cleared off the line and one where our girl got taken down but no help from the Ref...We ended the game in a tie after 110 minutes of play!!  After the game most of the girls showered and headed to the airport...but not our van! We went to in and out :) and went to the beach instead of that whole thing they call showering!! I think it was a good choice!!

So the weekend ended up pretty good!  A win and a Tie! and Two shutouts in a row! Now we just have to gear up for a fun and busy weekend at home!  We have the recruits for next year coming to stay with us as well as my parents coming up and some big games that we need to win!  BUSY BUSY!! and i have a few papers to write!  I better get back to that!! ha
