Box out! Post up! Zone! Rebound! Layup!
"What?" "What's that?" "Where am I supposed to be right now?"
That is the Case Women's Soccer team's response to most basketball terms shouted from the few players that actually know what they're doing on the court. During this offseason the team
After a very physical game, including Katelyn Etscheidt almost killing a girl, team one suffered a heartbreaking first loss 11-27 to their rivals, the volleyball team. The second game against Phi Mu was much closer but the girls still fell short losing 22-27. The third game was cancelled due to weather, but had the game been played, Team One surely would have had their first win.
divided to make two intramural basketball teams. Along with bonding and conditioning, the team also had the chance to realize how uncoordinated their teammates are, specifically at basketball.
Any educated person would think that a collegiate soccer team would be pretty well-rounded in the sporting world. Sure enough, the Case Women's soccer team has surprised the public once again, not by making improving strides on the soccer field, but by giving a new meaning to the word terrible.
Now do not get the wrong impression by this blog, we do try. We play the full 40 minutes all out, just not well. Now, here is a recap of the games played by the team so far:
After a very physical game, including Katelyn Etscheidt almost killing a girl, team one suffered a heartbreaking first loss 11-27 to their rivals, the volleyball team. The second game against Phi Mu was much closer but the girls still fell short losing 22-27. The third game was cancelled due to weather, but had the game been played, Team One surely would have had their first win.That was Selser (Anna) reporting for her team, and now she has handed the computer off to me, Kennedy (the "other Anna") to report on Team 2. The volleyball matchup was again a very physical game for our squad, but we fought through it. Yet, the much taller volleyball team came up AGAIN with a 36-30 win over us. Our following game was cancelled also due to Cleveland weather, but that just helped us prepare for our next game; the duel of the soccer teams.
The much anticipated game occurred Monday, February 9. Those in attendance witnessed an epic game. Highlights included Vaci and Selser unintentionally completing their "mongoose" play, Maddy being the MVP, flagrant fouls left and right, and Kennedy dunking on everyone (just kidding). Team two had a significant lead until Cici Fusco organized Team one into a zone defense. Team one picked up their level of play but not enough to win the game and end up losing 18-27.
Both teams have advanced to the intramural playoffs and have been practicing intensely. Surely their hard work will pay off and the teams will be ready to compete at the next level.
