Hello Fans and Bloggers,

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you for a while here.  As it so happens we were victorious in our home opener against St. John's, winning handily 97-70.  Senior Pete Rortvedt and Bryan Beamish led us with 22 and 18 points.

After celebrating our win we got back at it on Monday to prepare for our Wednesday evening game at Wisconsin Lutheran in Milwaukee.  Focusing in and not letting this game slip away from us has been the motto for us from right after our home win.  I say "focus" because after the game we are traveling to San Antonio, Texas for a holiday tournament.  Focus we did as we got the win 71-59 in a rag tag kind of game.  Our first half defense was superb but overall the game was a little sloppy.  We didn't really shoot the 3 well, which is usually our forte.  Petey Rortvedt was off his shot but Junior Evan Sweeney hit 2 big treys down the stretch for us.  The play of the game was Junior Matt Moses' thunderous 2-handed slam dunk in traffic over a couple of unfortunate Lutheran Warriors.  Being only 6'2, Matty Mo really got up there and sparked all of the Pointers.  I was in pure shock...it would've made ESPN's top 10 plays for sure!

Did I mention San Antonio?  I am actually writing to you now from the lobby computer at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in San Antonio.  Just got done with practice and we're all ready to chow down!  It's been a pretty physically draining day for all of us with the plane ride and all.  We'll tough 'er out though!  We'll be sleeping like babies tonight I'm sure.

Game tomorrow and Saturday against Southwestern and Trinity.

I'll keep you posted...

Remember the Alamo!
