UPDATES GALORE!

Hello All,

We apologize for the lack of blogging...we have been busy little bees...errr DUCKS! We are currently sitting 9-1 overall and 2-0 in the Empire 8 Conference. We had 2 big games last week. First we took on Rowan. At the time we played they were ranked 12th in the NFHCA Coaches Poll and we were ranked 16th. We played Rowan here at Stevens and it was an awesome Duck Country event. We were able to wear our Away Jerseys at home and it was a lot of fun. We won that game 2-1. Mallory Swanson, aka Meow, (Empire-8 Co-Player of the Week and Womensfieldhockey.com Division III Player of the week) scored both goals off of great offensive teamwork. It was the first time we beat Rowan AND it was the highest ranked team we ever beat. It was incredible!

Last Saturday we played Ithaca on their grass field. It was our 2nd conference game. We traveled to Ithaca the night before, stayed in a hotel and had a great breakfast. We showed up ready to play and ready to win. Lauren "2nd Gear" Griggs scored the game winner and then Meow put in an insurance goal. We left Ithaca with a 2-0 win!

Tonight we play Drew at Drew and they are a tough opponent. We will get off the bus ready to play and to work hard. We are having tons of fun this season and working hard!

See you soon!
