Day 3 began with an early day, with the team (or the ones not stuck in traffic) arriving at the pool at 8:00 in the morning. After wriggling into the awsome USA leggings, we got some great pictures in our Bentfish Ts (Thank you Bentfish!), as well as some head shots.
We got in and did a full warmup and dove straight into the game against the Amazons. Everyone played fabulously, with some amazing drives from our forwards and lots of impressive stops from the backs. Nobody got kicked out at all! We got out of the game ready for our much anticipated game against Canada.
In our break between games we got a great talk from Leslie Maisey (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) about nutrition while we are training. Hopefully now we will be healthy and strong after each and every game! We also stretched out our lungs and pretended to be fish as we learned how to lung pack. It was almost impossible not to laugh!
The next game was against Canada. We played another wonderful game, with everyone showing off their skills that they have been developing for months. It was great to see! After some hard fought goals, time was called and we went to the wall tired! We had held our own!
And finally, congratulations to our final team! Welcome to our final two players, Tricia Simon and Christina Jones.
Here is the final team roster, in no particular order:
Tyera Eulberg
Katrina Finley
Missy Kehoe
Kim Skukas
Ianna Debrunner
BAM (Beth Ann Morley)
Leah Ettema
Rachel Carrington
Tricia Simon
Brittany Borgiasz
Christina Jones
Jennifer Smith
We are excited for the tournament to begin tomorrow bright and early. We will be playing in the mixed division. Keep an eye out for more updates tomorrow evening!
