This weekend we drove down to Greenville, South Carolina to play three games in the NETHC. Yes, we drove- from upstate New York to South Carolina. And by we I mean my coach, who drove through sun and snow, day and night, and while most of our van was dead asleep.
The way down was a little bit better because we did it in two parts. We left Friday afternoon and drove down to Maryland where we had dinner at our teammate Sara Merkl's house. We crashed there for the night and then woke-up at 5am to begin the second leg of our journey.
Clearly, the highlight of the Saturday morning drive was stopping for lunch at Chick-fil-A! It was divine, especially since I only get to eat it once a year when I make it down south!
We arrived on Saturday afternoon in time to play a 2:30 game against West Point. I was really excited to play because I had fans in the crowd! My aunt and uncle drove all the way up from Charleston to come see me play, and my beloved 6th grade teacher Mrs. Leslie also came to cheer me on. It was also fun for them to see me play, especially since we won by a lot and I got to put in 6 or 7 goals.
We played two games on Saturday (West Point Gold and West Point Black), which we won by at least 20 points. On Sunday we played against Furman and although we won by a lot, it was kind of disappointing not running our fast break! Last time we beat them 57-9, but this time Christian decided it would be better for us to practice running our set-offense.
After the Furman game we showered quickly and began the arduous journey north. We stopped twice for gas/food but otherwise it was a straight shot. We made it home at 4:00am, just in time for me to catch a few hours of sleep before work the next morning!
