Being on the road is tough and one of the qualities needed is the ability to "brush off" a tough loss on Friday night and come back strong for Sunday. We were able to do it against UNC Greensboro two weeks ago and will attempt the same tomorrow against the Oregon State Beavers.
This morning, we slept in and then made the 40-minutes drive from Eugene to Corvallis. After a brief practice at Oregon State, we checked into the hotel. After a 3-game losing streak...and needing a little break, we headed to the Highland Bowl for a quick game or two...it was good to take our minds off soccer for an hour or so...and, do we ever have some bad bowlers...notable exceptions were goal keeper Amy Edman and freshman Lauren Dudley, who were solid.
Freshman goal keeper, Shay Kennedy, celebrates half of a strike...while assistant coach, Laurel Roderick, gives it some body english...
Alyssa Toomey and Erin Dalley practice a new bowling grip...while Amy Edman consoles Katie Brower after a tough frame.
The Utes also had some birthday cookies for Chelsea Forbes and Kelly Isleib who celebrate this weekend! An evening video review of the Oregon game and some mexican food capped the day and we hope to come away with a victory tomorrow.
