Nice to finally get the season up and under way! A ton of new things to adapt to including field size, ball size, numbers on the field, and of course, the integration of several new teammates who are still learning about our playing style and environment. While there is clearly a lot of work to do, there were also some very promising signs on Saturday.

There were some very good things in this first game, but there were also several not so good things. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the good things that we did well. Honestly our first ten minutes were amazing by my standards... the biggest reason was that the girls were looking to do exactly what was expected of them, and they were being successful in it. In that first shift, we had the ball in the opposing half almost the entire time, and were applying constant pressure on Ambassadors. Whenever they got out of the pressure and cleared, we were able to recover the ball in our defense and CALMY
