First off I would like to start by warning anyone who is reading this that there are a few common phrases that will probably pop up every once in a while on this blog. These phrases all have varying origins, and most sound funnier when our team actually says them, but overall just sound goofy out of context. Anyway, the current hot phrases include: rip city (also rip township, the borough of rip, tip city), skadoosh, any possible Harry Potter reference (especially those involving Voldemort/Liz Zmijewski), and as of late OOOH OOOOH!!! (see the movie Baby Mama for full understanding). Now that all the technicalities are out of the way, on to the good stuff, like the fact that Stevens Field Hockey is heading to the Empire 8 Championship game today!!!! The theme of this entire weekend has really been just spending plenty of time together doing plenty of fun activities; my favorite being the team dinners. Friday night involved a slightly later practice than usual immediately followed by dinner made by Head Coach Jess Reed and assisted by a bunch of the girls on the team. The team enjoyed watching some game-tape and strategizing before going our separate ways and heading to sleep. Saturday was Game Day. After our always changing pregame talk we took the field and then proceeded to go to rip city all over Ithaca by winning 5-1. The whole team was super excited to get to play in the championship game and brought a little bit of that excitement to the Women’s Volleyball Championship Game, where the girls eventually won! Now we’re off to play Washington and Jefferson this morning, if you get a chance check it out on http://www.empire8.tv starting at 1pm.
It’s a great day to be a duck!!!
