SPRING SEASON BEGINS!!

Spring season began yesterday with our first official tournament. I say official because we actually played an exhibition against Division II nationally ranked St. Leo while we were on spring break in Florida at the beginning of the month. However, I will let the players tell you more about their "adventures" from the spring break trip as they start blogging this week.

We played yesterday in a one day event at Grove City Country Club in Grove City, PA. I liked going there because I coached for 4 years in neighboring Slippery Rock, so it was good to be back "home" and see some people I hadn't seen in a while. The team didn't seem to mind either as it was 60 and sunny when we left Cleveland. However, something happened right before we were going to tee off and sunny and warm turned into cloudy, windy, and cold. Not exactly nice weather from the hosts!(ha ha)

The team did a great job of fighting off the tough elements and finished in the top half of the 6 team field. Lindsey had a career low which is AWESOME!!! It was a great end to the week as we also had a great week of practice. I was already really excited coming into the spring season because I felt our last tournament of the fall really brought us closer as a team, and sure enough this first week has been a blast!! Our team chemistry is really good right now and everyone is working hard at improving their game. Our goal is to keep improving every day and give it all we can at the OAC Championships at the end of April. I have a good feeling that it is going to be a good spring for us and we will keep getting better and better!

This week is the Purple and White Invitational host by Capital University in Columbus. We are looking for another week of improvement and fun....and hopefully a little bit warmer weather. Although in the spring I guess any time it doesn't snow for an event, it should be considered a good thing : )

Can't wait to see how we do this week!!
