We have had a few games since I last wrote, so let me give you a little update.  We lost our game against UVA a few weeks ago, but recently beat two big rivals: UMBC and Towson University.  Losing to UVA was a disappointment but we put out a good team effort.  The events of the game showed us what we need to work on in order to continue raising the level of our game.  The game against Towson was a great win, but quite a nail-biter.  We came back from being down 8-5 at half time to pull out a big win in the last few minutes of the game.  I think beating these two strong teams in a row will help our confidence in upcoming games.

Personally, I missed four days of practice last week because I was sick.  I forgot how frustrating it can be to be sidelined because of an injury or illness.  Sometimes I don't really think about how lucky I am to be playing lacrosse.  I think I take this gift for granted a lot of the time, so when I wasn't able to play last week it was kind of a reality check.  I've gotten back into practices this week and could not be happier about it.  I am so pumped to play against Davidson this weekend and am excited to get back into the groove of things, recognizing everyday that I play as a gift.  

Spring weather is in the air here in Baltimore which is going to make lacrosse season just that much better.  Can't wait for the next few weeks... I will be sure to keep you up to date!

Go Hounds!
