Our first game was against Bridgewater College, who beat us in our first game last season. Losing to them again this season was disappointing, but we came back with a great game on Saturday against Randolph-Macon. It feels great to get that first win. The game was really encouraging because everyone played well, particularly some of our freshmen. They have already contributed so much to our team this year, both on and off the court.
Road trips are always a great opportunity for the team to really get to know each other.
For three straight days, we spent just about every minute with each other - traveling, eating, studying, sleeping, and playing basketball. Several players' parents came to our games this weekend - some of them driving for two days to get there. You just can't even understand how good they are until you have tried them. It was fortunate that we had those, because the Richmond Airport didn't have any restaurants at all. We were all pretty hungry by the time we got home Saturday night.
