Preseason Soccer: Week 2

Second week of preseason went well.  The team continued to work hard and build chemistry with each other.  In several of our practices, we focused quite amount of time on technical drills to improve our footwork.  We were finally able to scrimmage other teams and put what we worked in practice onto the field against another team.  The first scrimmage we played was against CUNY College.  Our play wasn't our best, but we were able to learn from our weaknesses and grow from our strengths.  The final result was 6-0, Nyack.  We had our second scrimmage the following day against STAC and won 4-0.  The level of play increased and was much more physical, but my teammates continued to play well.  We took what we did not do too well in the previous game and worked on improving them in the second game.  Our final scrimmage was yesterday and even though we lost, there were many things that we took away from the game.  We are all continuing to work hard each day and build the chemistry with each other both on and off the field.  Our first real game is this Friday and I am so excited for my teammates.  All the fitness training, shooting drills, scrimmages, and so forth are all in preparation for when we step out on the field Friday afternoon and play.  Lady Warriors, "for God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
