Day 3 of Combine

Day 3:
Its Wed, and the first full day of actual games. My team got the short end of the stick and had to play the early game at 10am, and also the 1:30 game. For those who dont know the feeling, One soccer game is real real tiring. Now playing two games in a day is even tougher tan that but with-in four hours of each other?!!? a little crazy! The first game was a tough one. I was picked to be the starting goalkeeper and played pretty well. I and 5 saves in the first half and had one goal against me on a break away. The Rutgers keeper played second half and we ended up losing 2-0 to a tough opponent... The second game was where our team really started to feel the pain and exhaustion from the past 3 days. Again I started the match but this time Our team scored first and at the half, I kept the shut out to have a halftime lead of 1-0. The second half, our boys played tough but the fatigue and heavy legs caught up to us and we eventually lost 2-1. The team we played was playing their first game of the day so they had the upper hand. Also it was my roommates team, and he scored, so of course i got to hear it from him later on. Luckily for me i had a shutout and he never scored on me (thank the lord). We are back at the hotel. just finished dinner. The combine bought us about 25 of the Pizza Hut Pasta boxes. they were very very good! I never thought id say this but lately ive been going to bed very early. its 9 something now, and Ive been in bed for an hour. We have another two games tomorrow (11:30 and 3) and then I will officially be done at this place. Heading back to Nashville Friday. looking forward to seeing everyone! Thanks again for all the texts and tweets. Love yall!
