After a long weekend up North, the women's
varsity soccer team was elated to return to the warm whether of
Atlanta. Where else do you find weather conducive to shorts and
t-shirts nearing the end of October?
The weather and our beautiful field are
just a few of the reasons we cherish our campus so much.
We began the week with our typical day
off on Monday, followed by a light pre-game practice on Tuesday.
Wednesday we were back on the bus headed
North to Piedmont College. Most of the team spent the two-hour ride
catching up on homework or sleep, because we are all in the middle
of midterm exams.
We arrived to Piedmont two hours early
providing ample time to stock up on some pre-game groceries at the
Winn Dixie. We fueled up on some team staples including Disney Princess
fruit snacks and Flavor-Blasted Goldfish.
After winning our game we loaded the bus,
and the inevitable post-game debate ensued over where to eat. This
time, however, the debate was short lived. The team was practically
unanimous that Arby's would be venue for "food in the body."
Twenty sandwiches, curly fires, and Jamoca shakes later, we headed
home.
We were given Friday and Saturday off to
rest and recuperate. We reconvened on Sunday night, braving a 24-hour
downpour, for an inner-squad scrimmage on a slightly soppy field.
The upcoming week is a big one. We
have two very important games this weekend. The team is ecstatic
about our Thursday night dinner at the Fox household. Additionally,
we look forward to our annual family gathering and feast at Sabo's
house on Saturday.

Ga. She would love to answer e-mail
questions from Emory recruits and fans.
