Entry 1

September 15, 2003

"Last Thursday evening, we started off the weekend with a pre-game burrito feast at Eck, Lank, and Fox's new house. Eating is, after all, what we do best on the women's varsity soccer team here at Emory University (aside from soccer, that is).

We followed up the meal with hysterical game of "Would You Rather?" and played with Frank, the most adorable kitten in the world. Friday marked the first home game of the season and the first relatively cool evening in a month. With the weather and an abundance of fans on our side, we managed to shut out the competition and improve our record to 5-0-0.

The following day was our first free Saturday of the school year, which we all spent in the library, of course! Well, maybe not all of us.

We kicked off Sunday morning in true form with another eating frenzy at the English house. Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. English!! It is not an easy task to feed 30 soccer players. The brunch also provided an opportunity to celebrate Ali's 20th birthday with a flaming bagel (thanks to Eck's creative genius) and some out-of-tune singing. With a slight case of food-coma, we all returned home for a little pre-game relaxation.

Our second game of the weekend was a good battle. With no score at the end of regulation, we proceeded into Golden Goal overtime. One and a half minutes into the overtime period Jenna scored the lone goal of the game!

We were all so ecstatic; we rushed the field immediately after the goal. Thus concluded another exciting, soccer-packed weekend with the Emory University varsity women's soccer team.
