It's been awhile since the holiday, but I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  With the Christmas season upon us, I'm feeling very Dr. Seuss-like lately, so I've decided to take a different approach to the blog this week - I'm going to update everyone through a poem, although without the Grinch and Whos.

The last time I wrote we were going up against Franklin Pierce

Approaching that game we knew the battle would be fierce.

We defeated the Ravens seventy-six to sixty-three

Next up was UMass Lowell, a brawl in which we could foresee.

UMass Lowell came ready to play, and we came up a bit short.

This was our first loss of the season, and we couldn't wait to get back out on the court.

Next we headed to Southern New Hampshire, for another NE10 match

Our intensity, hustle and desire, was something the penmen could not snatch.

On Wednesday night we were at home, and matching up against Merrimack

We found ourselves down at halftime, but were able to fight back.

Our record says a lot, standing at 6-1.

The best part is... our season has just begun!

With exams right around the corner, everyone is feeling the stress.

Between studying, practice, and papers.... I wish we still had a lunch recess.

With winter fast approaching, all around campus you feel the holiday cheer.

It's exciting to know that basketball season is finally in full gear.

This weekend we square off against Assumption, another team sitting at the top.

We're two teams that matchup well, and it will come down to who can get a stop.

Many alumni will be back, to celebrate the 1,000 game in Stonehill history.

We're a team that will be ready, but the outcome is still a mystery.

If we work hard and everyone really tries,

Our coaches' hearts will grow three times their size.

Talk to you soon!
