Apologies for the delay in giving everyone an update on how our first fall tournament went! We competed at Harvard last Sunday against Harvard, Stanford and BU. It was a great and challenging start to our fall season, and we came out strong in our first game against Harvard. The team played well and showed the speed and athleticism that is going to play a huge part in our success this year. Everyone had an opportunity to play, giving the coaches an excellent opportunity to evaluate on an individual and team basis.
After a nice breakfast-type tailgate and a two hour wait, we took the field again against a tough Stanford squad. Unfortunately, we came out a bit flat and were not ready for the pressure and poise with which the Cardinal played. It wasn't our best showing, but it was a good learning experience for the day and for the year.
As was our goal from the start of the day, we wanted to respond to every mistake and failure with a positive response...and that is just what we did in our third and final game against BU. Determined not to be beat to groundballs or out-hustled, the entire team put forth a great effort.
There are many kinks still to work out on the offensive and defensive ends, as well as, the midfield, but overall it was a great start to the fall season. We thank the parents for their continued support and for feeding us along the way!
We are looking forward to our FIRST-EVER HOME FALL TOURNAMENT in our new stadium THIS SATURDAY against Yale and Vermont! We hope all of you will come cheer us on! Here is the schedule"
