Well, it's finally begun... GAMES! The women's team started off their season of competition two weekends ago at the first annual Harvard Invitational. We began on Saturday with a win over New York Athletic Club (whose roster includes former Brown players, Stanford players, and almost-Olympians) followed by a loss to number 8 Michigan. The next day we were defeated by NYAC in a follow-up game, then crushed Siena, to round out the weekend with a 2 and 2 record... not so shabby.
Last weekend we travelled to Princeton for their annual tourni. This trip is one of our favorites... to "Whole-Paycheck (Foods)" runs, to lots of parents making appearances (with snacks!), to spectacular competition, the weekend always promises to be fun and rewarding. This year the team did better than in any year past, going 2 and 2. The real highlight, however, was a comeback in the fourth quarter during our Princeton match. We look forward to a rematch next weekend at the "Elite 6" Bucknell Tournament, where we hope to turn our unfortunate last minute losses into big W's.
The team is doing great. Devan Kennifer was named Rookie of the CWPA Northern Division Co-Rookie of the Week, and many others had caused quite a few waves. Minus a few bouts of flu and colds, we have never been so strong and healthy before, and we're ready to take HWWP to new levels. As Ellen likes to say: "Kick your own asses." And... that's what I plan to do now... Practice time!
