Hello from the Broderick sisters!! Thursday night sparked the theme of the weekend. Liz quoted the movie “Elf.” She discussed the part of the movie when everyone was lacking Christmas spirit. Once everyone started believing in Santa his sleigh began to fly.
Thus, our motto for the weekend became, “Make the sleigh fly.” Teamwork was our main goal. Saturday we played Hartwick in an Empire 8 contest of the undefeated. It was a battle that we fought together and won together. It was an exciting, exhilarating double overtime victory. Liz “Voldy” Zmijewski scored the lone goal early in the second overtime period. Jessica “Walnuts” Ablonczy made a pass to Liz who dribbled the ball right into the circle and ripped a shot to the near post. It had too much “mustard” on it for the goalie to save. It was Liz’s first goal EVER! We are now 4-0 in the Empire 8.
After the game we traveled onto Albany, where we spent the night before our game versus Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Sunday. Once we arrived at the hotel, we got dressed up and went out to Hibachi for dinner. We woke up Sunday morning and had a delicious breakfast at the hotel. They had all sorts of cereal, oatmeal, eggs, waffles, fruit, bagels, and pastries. We departed the hotel at 11:15am ready for a showdown of Tech schools.
It was much chillier than Saturday’s game and we hoped for no rain or snow. The game began at 1pm. We were one goal down with less than a minute left to play. With 45 seconds left to play we were granted a corner. Meghan Broderick inserted the ball to Mallory Swanson who passed the ball to Marguerite Chavez who shot the ball. The rebound was played back to Marguerite put the ball into the cage. This led us to our second overtime game of the weekend.
About three minutes into overtime, Liz passed the ball from the midfield to Marguerite. Marguerite eliminated a defender to expose a 2 vs. 1 opportunity against the goalie with Lauren Griggs. Marguerite passed the ball to Lauren, who shot the ball in the goal!
Good Bye Central New York! Welcome to Hoboken!
