So much to post, so little time!

We've been slacking on the blog and I take full blame for that!  I've been so swamped with everything, but no excuses!

The team plays this evening against St. Francis - live stats can be found here:  http://www.sfuathletics.com/custompages/WVB/live/xlive.htm 

Go Hornets!

Hurricane Irene - Coach Arnold

Head coach Renee Arnold on the impact Hurricane Irene had on her team:

On Thursday afternoon when we received the news that the tournament was cancelled we starting looking at other options of playing a team elsewhere, but with the storm predictions it was better to be safe at home than on the road in a swaying bus. William and Mary was our toughest preseason tournament so we were throwing the team into the deep end and seeing how well we could swim.

Expectations are high with this team. We have had some key team members step up in the last week and I am very excited to see how that will translate to game time results. There is nothing wrong with another week of practice and preparation to ensure we are where we need to be. The team in very excited to just get on the court and play a game to see how we stack up to others. Some of the things that have happened already at practice, I feel like we have already won a match.

Game time is Friday at 2 pm v. Cornell.

Hurricane Irene - Laisha Davis

Laisha Davis, junior from Riviera Beach, Fla.:

The storm impacted us in canceling our first tournament.The storm did not do any damage to us in Dover but a little rain and strong winds. I feel we would have been unstoppable in William and Mary tournament, and it would have been nice to see us compete against other good teams. But looking forward I am beyond excited to play this weekend and getting the season started.

Hurricane Irene - Mya Williams

Mya Williams, freshman from Indianapolis, Ind.:

My first hurricane ever! I thought it was going to be like Katrina or something because people were talking about it so much. I was ready though, I imagined it being exciting to tell my friends back home.

Because of the hurricane, our tourney in VA was canceled. It was a bummer not being able to start the season on time but this weekend, I think we'll all come hungry to play.
