November 1 - Grand Valley State University

Pictures and more blog to come later! I promise!

Our game against GVSU this weekend was our deciding match for our shot at Nationals. Our second home game, but alas, we lost. GVSU won this match 44 to 29. Congratulations to them. It was a good match.

GVSU is a team on the verge of going varsity (if they're not already). They had two full teams, and were able to play a 20 minute B-side match with entirely fresh legs.

Because of their varsity status, they are unable to socialize as we normally do, so we opted for a pizza/singing party on the side of the pitch. It was still a lot of fun, regardless of the change of normal location. Also due to their varsity status, they can't sing anything about beer, so they cleverly replaced it with "juice". But...it just doesn't sound the same. GVSU had to leave early to take the five hour drive home in order to get home at a decent time.

Thanks for all your support!
