Preseason Scrimmages

02/12/2008 By Brian

        Sorry about not posting anything lately, I have been real busy with practices and school work, and actually do not currently have the internet at my apartment.  For some reason it is not working so I haven’t been able to get on here lately. My fault.

       Anyways, lately we have had 2 weekends of scrimmages and practices everyday.  We started off scrimmaging Loyola and Delaware on February 2 at Maryland.  Scrimmages went well and luckily the weather was nice so it made it more enjoyable.  We played Loyola first, which was a rematch from our fall scrimmage.  It was a low scoring game but we found a lot of positives out there that we built off of for the upcoming games.  We then played Delaware and that was more of a high pace, scoring game for us.  In all the day was successful for us and we got a lot accomplished.

The following weekend (this past weekend) we headed up to Princeton to play them, another rematch of the fall.  We came out on fire and built up a good lead.  The weather wasn’t the greatest but it was still fun to play against a highly competitive team and to see where we would match up.  Things went well and that leads us into this week.  This week we are focusing on certain things that we noticed didn’t go well in the scrimmage that we want to fix for the season.  We rap up our preseason with scrimmages on Saturday here at Maryland, against Harvard and someone else.  This is our last chance to work the kinks out and get everything on track for our opening game against Georgetown.

       Our scrimmages are winding down and we are all looking forward to the season to start.  We are really excited about our team this year and how we all came together.  Should be interesting to see what happens when the season officially starts up and we will go from there: starting at Georgetown.
