First day of Fall Brawl 2014, a tournament held outside Princeton, NJ! Whooo! It was a really tiring day for us--we played four games without a bye, and our longest break between games was 15 minutes, yikes. We were super slow in the beginning and our energy was really low, but by the end of the day we were playing a lot better and more like ourselves.

We played Lehigh (L on the game point), Towson (W, 11-7), George Washington (W, 15-3), and Princeton Y (L, 7-11).

Princeton was definitely the hardest-fought game... too bad we couldn't come back and play well. There were tons of drops and bad throws--I think we were really feeling the pressure because we were so desperate to fight for it and win, but that desperation really did us more harm than good. We should have been calmer.

It was pool play today, but since we were in a "power pool," 4 out of the 5 teams in the pool advanced to the championship bracket, rather than the usual 1 team out of 5. It was to make the pool play games more competitive, and it obviously worked--we went 2-2 for the day. But since we won two games, we're going to be in for the championship tomorrow.

practice in the am again... we have a tournament this weekend so we took it a little easier!

we switched to morning practice times this week so I started off the day with 6:30-8:30am practice... gotta love it when daylight savings time makes it too dark to see the ground at 4pm!

but actually it was just fine. I warmed up as soon as I started jogging and after we did some go-to drills and zone offense drills I felt really awake and quite good physically. and after we finished I had peaches and yogurt at the dining hall, which was actually open by 8:45 so that soothed my lack of sleep somewhat
