Eastern Tournament

This weekend we had a water polo tournament at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. We played three games yesterday and one this morning, and our B team played two games each day as well. Yesterday we started out with a game against Lindenwood which we won, then had a game against Grand Valley State which we won, and then played Iowa and won again! Yay for winning! None of the Saturday games were very close, but they were all very fun and we still fought hard. Everyone got a lot more playing time in this tournament which was really nice, and I definitely felt like I was in better shape than at the last tournament. The B team also won both of their games yesterday against Eastern Michigan and Iowa.

This morning we got to the pool just before the B team played Dayton and they won by a ton! We then played Michigan State's A team and went up early, but let them back into the game and only ended up winning by one goal. Our coaches were not too happy about that at all. We have to stop making some of our silly mistakes on defense and take more purposeful shots and better offensive possessions. Anyways, a win is still a win and we are still undefeated on the season. The B team had a final hard fought game against Michigan State B, but their final goal was called back after it was determined that the desk did something wrong with the clock and they ended up loosing by just one goal. It was a much better game for them than at our home tournament though, so that's great!

After the games I got home and relaxed for a bit and then some of the people going on the cruise came over to talk about what we want to do. We talked about our plan a little, determined how we would get to the airport, and then made a plan to meet up to make plans once we get on the ship tomorrow. Two of our friends have already left Ann Arbor, so we will just meet them there and go over what we talked about tonight (which wasn't too much, but still good to go over). After they left I was reminded that I had to take my CFM exam so I sat down and did that and just finished. It wasn't so bad and since it was open book I got through it fairly quickly (in maybe an hour, which really is fast since there was no studying necessary). Now I need to eat dinner and then pack and get ready to leave for warmth tomorrow! I can't wait to be in Florida/The Bahamas where I can actually feel my toes again. My apartment is just so cold! Can't wait to say goodbye to this 16ยบ weather for a few days!

So this week should bring lots of sun and fun, and then next weekend we have a league tournament at Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana. So excited for some downtime!
