We just got back from a crazy weekend on the road.  On Friday morning we left Baltimore for Rutgers... we stopped at in New Jersey at the house of our teammates, Elizabeth and Virginia Weber, for a great team lunch and then got back on the road.  We played Rutgers under the lights on their grass field and did not play as well as we could have.  We lost the game by one which was a major loss for us because Rutgers is in our conference.  We made mistakes that we can definitely learn from and what we have learned will definitely benefit us in our future games. 

On Saturday we flew out to Chicago and then drove to Notre Dame from there.  This was a long day of traveling so when we finally got to the field for practice, we were antsy and full of energy.  The next day we played a competitive game against the Irish.  We battled it out until the last whistle but unfortunately did not come out on top (16-13).  This was another Big East game, so the loss was a huge disappointment.  We can not let these two losses get us down - we still have so many games ahead of us that I know we can win, so we just have to take what we have learned from these losses into our next games.  We have two more conference games this upcoming weekend (UConn and Syracuse) so it should be a great weekend of lacrosse.  I'm excited to get back out onto our home turf and show what the Greyhounds are all about. 

With only a short amount of time left in my college career, I am determined to leave everything on the field without regrets.  Every time I walk off the turf I am want to feel proud of what I have accomplished that day and know that I have done my best.  I will be sure to let you know how our games go this upcoming weekend. 

Go Hounds!
