Entry 5: Katie Nelson
In our fourth week of practice, things are coming along for us as a team. We continue to work hard in practice and in the weight room. Our offense and defense is improving each day as we implement more plays and options for us as a team. Our team cohesion is quickly improving and we are beginning to understand how to play well together. As a team, we believe in setting goals to work towards throughout the season. This week each player is having a meeting with the coaches to review their individual goals. Soon we will be setting team goals that we will aim to achieve together as one unit.
With a little over a week left we are all excited to get the season underway. We have three days of practice before we head to Boston to scrimmage Northeastern. Playing them will help gauge where we are as a team and where we need to be come November 18th when we play at Delaware. With another great schedule we hope to see everyone come out and support us this season in the Mullins Center!
NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of diary entries leading up to the start of the regular season Nov. 18. For the next few weeks, a different player will submit an entry every couple of days talking about what the team is doing to prepare for the start of the season.
