Tough Weekend, Bright Forecast

Yes, it is true that we had a really tough weekend (if you saw the scores, you know it was REALLY tough). Every teams has their letdowns and we are no exception. What really matters is how we handle the situation and how we are prepared to change it the next time we are faced with the same circumstances.

With the losses to both Eastern Washington and Portland State, we are probably going to finish third in the conference this year. The top three teams traded blows all season, and with the two losses last weekend we are in a tie with Eastern at 11-4 with one match to go. If the record is still tied at the end of the year, they beat us on the head-to-head to claim the second seed in the tournament. Either way, we are going to be playing them again (on their home court) the Friday after Thanksgiving.

This week has been a great week of growth for the girls. We truly believe that we have the talent to win this conference, it is just a matter of putting it together on the court. We have been giving a lot of focus to a Championship Attitude this week, and our practices are reflecting it. All 16 girls are working extremely hard because they want it so badly.

With all the effort and time that our athletes and coaches put in, we are all confident and hopeful that next week will be exciting... All I know is that it is a great time to be a BEAR!
