BC v Notre Dame Football Weekend

The juniors and seniors headed to South Bend, IN to catch the BC v ND football game a few weekends ago. Although, the Eagles lost, it sounds like these upperclassmen had a great time!

"So we land in Chicago late Friday night to be picked up by a limo!!! And Mr. Alley to take us to Hannah’s beautiful house just outside of Chicago. Hannah’s house was gorgeous, and the Alley’s could not have been more hospitable, giving each of us a bed, a nice wake up call in the morning and bagels before we left their house early Saturday morning to catch the shuttle to go down to South Bend. We arrived in South Bend early Saturday morning and got to explore the beautiful campus and see touchdown Jesus as we made our way to the BC tailgate with all the RVs. Although it was rainy, freezing, and BC ended up losing, all of that didn’t seem to matter. The lacrosse team at Notre Dame was nice enough to take us in and make us feel at home in their off campus house. Sunday morning we woke up bright and early to do some more exploring before we headed back to explore Chicago. We got the chance to see ND’s beautiful chapel, the grotto and hang out and get breakfast in their student center. Also, we were able to sneak in an open gate to the stadium and walk on the grass- a cool experience. Never having been to Chicago before, it was awesome to get some deep dish pizza and hang out around Millennium Park for the day before catching out flight back late Sunday night. Overall the weekend was a lot of fun and I was so glad so many of us were able to make the trip out there. "

BROWN Scrimmage & Fall Season in Review

The 2009 fall season has come to an end, and the Eagles finished it up with a strong performance at Brown on Saturday - Halloween! After a slow start and getting used to Brown's high pressure defense, the team settled down and played with poise in the second half. The transition game looked especially good and our conditioning and overall speed are certainly starting to prove worthwhile. Saturday was a great opportunity to see what a real game would feel like, as this was our last dry-run before our first game on February 20th! We also played an additional 25 minutes and 3 6-minute situational periods at the end. It was an opportunity for everyone to play, for the team to exhibit all that has been a focal point this fall, and to work on key aspects of the game.

Overall, the fall season was a huge success. The coaching staff is thrilled with where the team is right now and is very confident about what the spring season has in store. Without a doubt the team will continue its hard-working ways, and there is little question about whether or not it will return to campus in January ready to go! The 26 women of the 2010 squad have proven they are ready and willing to step up to any challenge they face, and with that attitude coupled with the talent on the team, the spring season should be one to remember!

Thanks to all of you who have supported the team through this fall season, and to all the parents for keeping us well fed! With two months to go before spring practices begin, the team will be focused on getting healthy, getting in peak condition, and getting ready to perform! We hope many of you will be on the sidelines to cheer us on this spring.

Our spring schedule can be found under the "spring schedule link" on the right-hand side of the blog.

Here's to a great 2010!
