After 2 weekends of no games, we finally had one again! Last week was a free weekend with no scheduled games, and the week before the Marquette didn't attend.
We traveled to Lafayette, IN, for a game against Purdue. We walked in with a mindset that we were going to win, and we walked out with that goal fulfilled. We won the match 48-26, dominating the majority of the game. We even out-hyped them in their own parking lot, according to Schmarra (the Purdue out-center).
I believe this was our first full 80-minute game of the season. The weather was nice, but it got a little hot towards the end of the game. We were supposed to have a B-side half match as well, but we were unable to because the game started late and the Purdue boys had to take the field right after our game. Apologies to all the girls that did not get to play because of this! Also, we were supposed to have a social, but the day the game landed on was part of their October break, and no one was at their house. But they kindly brought us pizza which everyone devoured.
