SRU Soccer Season Flys!

Seems like only yesterday when I was sitting on a Delta Airline plane on my first trip across the waters to America. I couldn't say I was happy about it but I can definetly say I was terrifeid, I actually cried alot on the way over, leaving my family was very hard especially after seeing my father cry when I was saying goodbye really hit me hard. My first week here at Slippery Rock was very tough, I remember just feeling lonely and wanting to go home. Then as soon as school started and soccer training it took home off my mind and I finally started to enjoy it. Coach and the girls were really good to me.

When I saw our poster and all our 24 games printed up on it, it seemed like so much games and now its over and I can't believe it. I scored my first goal against Senton Hill which we won 2 nill but should have won by 6 or 7? It was one of those games when the ball would hit everything nut the net! I scored 5 goals in total this year. We did very well this year and made it to the PSAC semi's and lost to Westchester in PK's, was edge of the seat stuff that game and The Rock were so close to winning.West Chester went on to win the final. We made the NCAA's and travelled to Cal University and won the first round v's West Virginia Wesleyan 3-1. We played Cal the the following Sunday and yet again the game went to PK's! We scored the winning goal in 2nd period of extra time by Ali Hindly but the lines woman called it for offside! We honestly don't believe it was! Cal then won the shootout. It was very dissapointing but we can't say it wasn't a good year, it was a great year! We also made histoy and bet the schools record with 15 games without a loss! I loved everyday playing here and even though I can not wait to get home for christmas and see my family and friends I am already looking forward and preparing for next season, which I believe we are going to do even better! Bring it on! Go Rock! :)
