So, soccer girls, not a bad job yesterday finishing up tied 1 to 1 after two periods of OT. Granted, it wasn't a win, but it wasn't a loss either. DPU's goalie was a beast, but you guys gave it your best shot at trying to wear her down so you could get some goals in. It was an experience we can learn from and apply to future games.

Now it's time to be focusing on our game coming up on Sunday against Xavier. Since we don't have an official practice between now and then, I'm going to call an unofficial practice for Saturday morning from 9am to 11am. We'll meet in the locker room first where we'll watch some highlights from yesterday's game to see where we can make improvements and then head out to the pitch for an hour of drills. Since it's gonna be an early one on one of your usual days off, I'll bring us all some breakfast. On Sunday, we'll meet on the field at 11:30 to warm up for the game at 1.

That means, fellow staff and FCU students, if you missed yesterday's game, or even if you didn't, you have another chance to watch the Spartan girls kick some soccer butt with a home field advantage on Sunday! I hope to see you all out there and the stands packed.

And don't forget that our Spartan boys will be on the pitch squaring off against Creighton at 1pm on Saturday, so let's all head down for that game as well and show our support. Girls, I especially want you all to attend if at all possible.

And that's it from me for today! I hope to see you all on the pitch soon!
