Having numerous Colonials contribute, we came out victorious 78-62 and looked on to our goal for the weekend, winning the championship game the next day. Sunday we faced Lehigh, their home court advantage, local referees and hostile fans that we quieted by every three pointer we made. Looking at my teammates faces, thought this was the hungriest I have seen them. There is something about coming off a win, and perhaps most of all, being in a championship game that ignites that little spark inside of us. That spark carried us the whole way to the end but was ultimately extinguished when the final buzzer sounded and we lost by seven.
All athletes know about the highs and lows of their sport.
They also know that tomorrow is another day and in that day there will be game tapes to be watch, constructive criticism, new player personnel to be learned and the next motivational pep talk to ignite that spark to thrust them to the next win. There are certain moments in one s life that you will always remember. This past Wednesday was one of those days. We played our first exhibition game against Pittsburgh Women s Basketball Association. This wasn t just an ordinary game, though.
