September 22, 2004

Last week was a long week of indoor practice thanks to our dear friend, Hurricane Ivan. However, after all the wind and rain subsided, we were left with a beautiful Saturday for our game against Rhodes College.

The entire team was really psyched to play a home game on such a wonderful day. Also, during the past week more people have been coming back from injuries, so the team was feeling strong going into the weekend. Our objectives were to beat Rhodes, get a shutout, and, as always, have fun.

For motivation, Lauren Lankford and I presented the team with inspirational pictures of all the seniors via the new soccer game program. We explained to them that they could some day be famous with hard work and determination.

We started the game off on the right foot by scoring early. Kristine Falk put away her first career goal at Emory within the first five minutes. By continuing the high pressure in the first half, we caused Rhodes to score an own goal before halftime.

During halftime, we restated our game objectives and discussed the importance of continuing our pace for the remainder of the game. The speech seemed to work because in the second half we came out just as hard and Kinda Secret and Carrie Eckenhoff secured our win by scoring the third and fourth goals.

The game against Rhodes demonstrated how well our team is coming together. It's taken a little more time than usual due to injuries, but we thank everyone who has supported us and we promise more wins like this one throughout the rest of the season.
