On Tuesday night we opened with our first home match of the year. Air Force came up to play us. If you read the article, you will know that we started a little slow. I think there may have been some nerves involved because of having our home crowd there. On one side, there is an unsaid pressure to live up to last year's successes. On the other side, we have a whole new team with a very different personality than last year. I think it is going to take a few matches here and there to work through all the little stuff and for this team to fully define itself.
As the match progressed things got much better. We started finding the flow and attacking them. Much more fun on the bench when the girls step up to the challenge! This may be one of the most competitive group of girls we have ever had... When the competitive edge comes out on the floor, watch out!
Our next round of matches are this weekend. We play UMKC tomorrow afternoon at 2, then South Dakota at 7pm. On Saturday we play Fairfield at 9am (wow...early), then Georgia at 8pm (wow...late). It will be fun because we may actually be able to attend our home football game between the matches!
Go Bears!!

Great game against the Falcons. It was a rough night for a couple of the players, but overall I think the team looked great. It's nice to see new players come in and step up.
