Trip to Arizona! By Yaya & Chandler :)

This past week was very busy as we prepared to travel to Arizona to play two huge PAC-12 schools, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University.

First things first: SCHOOL! Everybody spent many hours in the library and study hall making sure we were all caught up in our classes.

 

 After a LONG 10 hour bus ride full of loud singing, lots of sleeping, constant eating, and even more studying, we finally arrived in Arizona. We had a light practice to move our legs around and then went back to our RESORT to sleep. Yes, we stayed at a resort. Everyone went to their rooms to shower while watching the TV that was in the bathroom...it was AWESOME!



The next morning we woke up and went on a light jog to a waterfall behind our resort where we saw some cute couples taking pictures and even a proposal!!! Oh wait...it was just a few of our players  acting out what they wish would happen ;)



Then it was the time we were all waiting for...GAME TIME! We were lucky enough to have a sweet fan club there for us as well! We played under the lights against UofA and  lost a hard fought game 6-1. 

It may not have been the result we wanted, but we were able to take away a lot of knowledge on how to improve our game. Plus, Kelsea Godfrey scored her first goal as a T-Bird and it was an amazing goal!! We like to say it was a bicycle kick :)



The next day was a much needed off day. We had the chance to go shopping at a HUGE mall in Arizona. Needless to say, we came home with a lot more than we brought with us :) We then ate at Cheesecake Factory where we all graciously chowed down on some amazing dinner and of course yummy cheesecake!!

We ended the night with a stretch in the pool which led to a little craziness from our team...overall we had a really fun time to end the day full of team bonding that would help us in our game the next day.



In the game against ASU a whole new SUU team came out to play. We played much better and improved a lot from the previous game. We had some unlucky goals scored against us and lost 4-0, but we still showed a lot of growth as a team. Playing these two PAC-12 schools helped us a lot as a team and will definitely give us an edge going into our Big Sky Conference.

   
The best part of the weekend was that 3 of our amazing players represented SUU and made us all extremely proud by making the all-tournament team!!!
  • Arizona Cats Classic All-Tournament Team:
    Kaitlyn Lopez (UA), Hayley Estopare (UA), Mykaylin Rosenquist (UA), Cali Farquharson (ASU), Kaitlyn Pavlovich (ASU), Holland Crook (ASU), Andrea Albrecht (SUU), Annabelle Schwab (SUU), Breanna Brown (SUU), Janine Beckie (TTU), Hayley Haagsma (TTU), Victoria Esson (TTU).






Unfortunately, we had a very upsetting injury happen to Aurora "Ro" Moberly during the game against UofA. However, we know she will heal quickly and come back stronger than ever. We all love you very much Ro!!!


We are all happy to finally be home for a while as we have 5 home games in a row. We would love to have as much support as possible!! See you there! :)

This week was all in preparation for our game this Sunday against the University of Utah at the U at 1:00. It was a very tough week both physically and mentally but we persevered! We are all very excited to play them and are ready for our rematch against them, and have all our hard work pay off! ALSO a huge shout out to our assistant coach Adam! Today is his birthday! He is turning 30 today, can't believe you made it this far having to deal with 25 girls everyday! Thanks so much for all you do for us! And to all our T-Bird fans...Thanks for all your support!

Rise and shine everyone, we're off to Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado!

Meg stuffing her giant bag into the overhead compartment. Not an easy task when we have to fit all of our stuff for about 4 days in one bag!


And we've arrived!



Hello Colorado!!!!


Needless to say we're all a little tired while waiting at baggage claim.


Oh the things ya see in Colorado. Haha nice boots man :P

After a short practice at the field at CC, we headed off to lunch then to the hotel for nap time!


Ice bath time!!

GAME DAY!


Victory over Vermont 3-1

Both B. Browns got on the board this game. Bre (Sunshine) Brown with the first one and Bri Brown with the next two!


After a great win against Vermont, we enjoyed some yummy dinner at Old Chicago. As we were leaving we ran into a BIG, BAD, SCARY...................... Raccoon! Hahahahaha!!  A group of 18 girls and a raccoon was a very hilarious sight to see. Oh and you can't forget the coachs too. Rumor has it Becky pushed one of our center backs out of the way to save herself from the scary creature!


On Saturday, we spent our day off at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Pretty cool to see where all the best athletes train!

The next day we fell to Appalachian State 2-1 and sort after it was time to head back home to Cedar.


Adios Colorado!


Bus ride back to Cedar!


Although we didn't leave Colorado with two wins like we had hoped, we definitely made some great strides in the right direction. We have a great team and we're all so excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for us! #tbirdnation
