At Case Western and Rochester last weekend, we experienced polar opposite field types and polar opposite results.

Our arrival in Cleveland on Thursday evening was characterized by a visit to Fat Billy's where we consumed mass amounts of pizza and engaged in an entertaining game of "Who am I?" During this game we learned that Bedford would like to visit the city of Ohio, Jenny wants to be a booger when she grows up, Candace likes her tuna seared, and Carrie wants to solve the worldwide problem of gingivitis. Fun was had by all.

All of our team bonding obviously paid off the next day when we beat Case Western University 2-1. While Case scored the first goal, we soon answered with two of our own goals. Jenna and Carrie each put one away for the Eagles. Still in high spirits, we went to the Olive Garden that night and celebrated Sabo's 35th birthday over breadsticks. Fun was had by all.

The next day was spent en route to Rochester, New York. Our men's and women's teams boarded the same bus on Saturday morning for an interesting six-hour trip. The girls asserted their bus prowess by beating the boys in the "movie game." Fun was had by the girls.

After a brief training session to acclimate ourselves to the turf field, we headed to the hotel for an early bed time and a pre-game team meeting. It was a cold and rainy Sunday morning in Rochester when we got to the men's game. We knew from practice and watching the men's game that the game would be fast and it wouldn't be pretty.

Possession was fairly even throughout the game. However, with about 15 minutes left in the second half, Rochester got lucky on a corner kick and we were unable to capitalize on any of our opportunities.

Both teams headed to the airport in low spirits with a strong distaste for turf fields, but with hope for victories in the remaining UAA games.
