New Haven Soccer In Florida: Day 3 - Sep 17, 2006 | 13:21:22
posted by: Josh
The New Haven women???s soccer team lost to Nova Southeastern on Saturday morning, 4-1. Senior forward Desiree Guenther fills us in on the game and the rest of the day. Integrity has always been a value I hold high and accordingly I???ll apply it here. This whole blog thing isn???t as much fun when you don???t win. Up for breakfast at 7:45 a.m. and departing the hotel at 8:40 to Nova Southeastern University.
The morning was quite hot and humid. There was short cut grass, constant guzzling of water, dripping of sweat, and a good group of spectators in the stands. After the first half the game was tied 1-1. And bottom line, ???we just didn???t get it done in the second half.??? The final score (4-1) definitely did not show our potential. For the future, it is imperative that we redirect some of our efforts in order to be successful. After the game, Coach BF gave one of the best post-game talks all year, we gathered our stuff and made our way to the vans. We drove back to the hotel with very little talk, but at least we were not banned from playing the radio. Halfway back to the hotel it began to rain, and has continued to rain the entire day off and on. Showers, and we were off to lunch at Dave and Buster???s. Our waiter, Shawn, took on all our tables, but didn???t quite get everything perfect. While waiting for our food, it was only necessary that we get the college football updates. And soon enough it was another team meal down, and 22 full stomachs exiting the restaurant. One van decided to head back to the hotel, while the other van ventured down to the beach to check out the area. A few went for a swim, a few stole their clothes, ate ice cream, and all enjoyed themselves. Additionally, the Irish proudly sported their new ???runners??? and tried their best to keep them clean. Personally, I watched Notre Dame horribly lose to Michigan, and Louisville take it to Miami. Then, we took the scenic route back to the hotel. Some went for a swim, some continued to watch football and later we all gathered in our room to eat dinner brought to us by the famous BF. Some more team bonding with many stuffy noses???ie, Crystal Lindsay sounds like Fran Drescher the ???Nanny??? when she talks (even MORE now)! By the way, proactive BF also brought us fruit for the morning as the grocery store does not open until 8 a.m. around here. Once again, good thing he is up on his nutrition. Fruit is one of the best food choices because of its sugar context, which is easily metabolized and used by the body. Perfect pre-game energy intake! (Along with bagels). Other than that, I think we will go with Gatorade tomorrow morning! We are excited to play Lynn at 10 a.m. 
CommentsLynn ties in in the waining seconds to take it to overtime, game ends in a 3-3 tie. good job dezzy i dig ur writing style u got skillz babe.. I???m going to forward this to Bob over at fox, if the padres thing doesn???t work out, maybe u can work here, anyways I miss u al ot .. take it easy i agree on how they definitely did not show their full potential and didn't come prepared to play on the hot, humid day. but after realizing what happened that day they will overcome their loss and become a better team in the future.

It means that two very good teams with very good coaches made it to the final game.
