180 Degree Turn

Though it has been a couple of months since we’ve last blogged, we have so much exciting news to report back to you! Starting off, we are conference champs and won the Horizon League this season! Can you say 180 degree turn? (“Started… started… started from the bottom now we’re here!” It’s a hip song for all you older folks).

But this drastic change didn’t happen overnight. We have done countless 6 a.m. workouts over the summer and many open gyms. It wasn’t easy, but all the hard work paid off. Let's just say we weren’t satisfied with how last year ended.

Susie’s quote of the week was “Poetic Justice,” which means that we get a “re-do” with both teams that we had lost to during league play. We had our chance against Cleveland after an unfortunate loss the second time around (but for God sakes that match took forever because after every point they lost they cried out for a towel to clean up the imaginary sweat on the floor.) We also got another chance against Valpo for the championship match and were able to come out and defeated them as well.

We worked so hard as a team and always have each other’s backs, even if that means getting a yellow card. But hey, if that means getting into the NCAA, we’re okay with that. It was announced that we play the Badgers in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday, Dec. 7 @ 7:00 p.m. So come out (wear yellow!!!!) and cheer us on! We need you to help us defeat the sea of red!
