CAC's Finest!

Well we did it! We were able to defeat Frostburg for the second time this year sealing our spot as both the regular and post season CAC Champions. The game was exactly the fight we knew it would be with both teams playing their hearts out. It was extremely physical and there were some terrifying moments when Frostburg almost scored, but the girls held strong. After ninety minutes of play the score still remained 0-0 as we entered overtime. At the end of the first overtime since we were still scoreless I started thinking about Penalty Kicks. I hate when a game is decided by PK's but luckily so do our girls! Just 38 seconds into the second OT Senior Allison Humphries volleyed a ball over Frostburg's defense that found Freshman Jamie Matlock's foot. Jamie gave the goalie no chance as she blasted the ball into the side netting. The feeling was unbelievable as the girls rushed the field I fell to my knees and just cheered. As all the girls finally came over, our trainer Greg was dancing with his daughter Emma, and we all joined in the fun with dances of our own. Frostburg has scored 72 goals this season and we were able to shut them out! Victory sure is sweet and as it said on our pre-game scouting report "Everyone on a championship team may not get publicity, but everyone can say she's a champion."

This morning we all got together for breakfast and to watch the NCAA drawing's. The NCAA's had some technical difficulties but the girls, coaches, and many members of the athletic department enjoyed each others company while we waited. Now that the bracket is finally posted we play Rowan in the First Round. We are very happy with this pick and we know we can win. However, win or lose just having made it here we reached our team goal for the season and can hold our heads high! I am so proud of all my girls.
