For an Empire 8 Field Hockey Championship... I would carry around a life-sized Edward Cullen cutout for a day and give up desert for a month!
Our team has had a tradition of saying something we do or won't do that would be difficult... but something that we would do because we wanted a championship that badly. This year, I combined something funny with something hard to do!
I am a few weeks into the "no desert" regime and am hanging in there! Although I love sweets, a championship is so much sweeter!
The Edward Cullen cutout to class was difficult but worth it. I just wish it wasn't raining that day!
(yup that's the cutout in the corner of my class)
Anyways, now that field hockey is over I am able to look back on my career here and see how much the program has accomplished. I've been a part of 3 consecutive conference championships, 3 NCAA tournament appearances (2 of which we made it to the Sweet 16), and so many more new and exciting things. This year, we started off our season 0-5 but wound up accomplishing more than anyone could have imagined. Who would have thought that the 0-5 team would not only win the conference (three-peat) but also make it to the Sweet 16?
To cap off my field hockey career, I was fortunate enough to be selected to play in the NFHCA Division III Senior All-Star game this weekend in Newport News, Virginia at Christopher Newport University. It'll be my last time in my duck uniform. It's bittersweet but also extremely exciting to represent our school! GO DUCKS!
