Note: Congrats to Ana Lopez for being selected by her peers recently as "alternate captain" for this upcoming week due to her "mental toughness"! On a side note, hudl footage/notes can/will certainly help you prepare for success this coming Monday and beyond!

Our team goals are in reach, ladies! Keep pushin' and finish strong!

And on Monday, you'll become the first Hamilton soccer team ever to beat Unity on their home field. Win the battle in your mind first and get it done! :)

NEW TEAM GOAL!

The girls decided on a new, worthy team goal today as a group:

WE WILL EARN A TEAM ACADEMIC ALL-STATE (3.3 TEAM GPA OR HIGHER) AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS SEASON!

Awesome idea as "student" always comes before "athlete". :)

2-1 Win vs. Zeeland West

Proud of you for fighting through many daunting factors last night in our huge game vs. Zeeland West, girls!

And to reverse our fortunes regarding Monday's H.C. game and ourselves punch one in the net with little time remaining was extra fitting and special.

Now it's time to recover, reflect, get better, and keep this thing going!

See you in my classroom with indoor gear, writing utensils, and reflective thoughts no later than 3 PM today!

Note: PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT OUR GAME AT UNITY THIS COMING MONDAY BEGINS AT 5:30 PM (JV = 4). BUS WILL LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER SCHOOL, AND WE CAN HOPEFULLY DINE ON PRE-PACKAGED TEAM MEALS ON THE BUS RIDE!

1-0 Loss vs. H.C.

Hang in there, ladies!

Ya know what tonight meant??? We lost a soccer game...that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. We take it in stride, stay positive, and realize that there is a TON left to play for...including 1st place in the league!

Round two of OK Green conference matches begins Wednesday as we welcome Z. West to our place for a revenge game. Let's go!!

See ya tomorrow for practice (wear black) and another valuable opportunity to GET BETTER!
