I was up early. bc i went to bed early. bc i was beat from riding all day yest (Taos, NM). and bc the time is 2 hrs behind here in the west. Unfortunately, i was unable to watch MWS' nail biter win (1-0) yesterday afternoon. but fortunately, i was receiving updates via text from a teammate. (I heard they dominated). I shouldn't have been so nervous, but i was, based on the 0-0 tie earlier in the season. the win put MWS back in the NCAA final. ..and back in the final with Wheaton College, IL. woo. this is so great. playing this team in the final is ideal, bc you know you will be playing a quality, clean team. MWS got to play wheaton one time when i was playing on the team ('02, i think). and it was a great experience, not only because they were a great soccer team and had quality athletes, but the fact that after the game (which btw, we won), we circled and prayed together, as teams, individuals, but also sisters in Christ. Although, we were opponents; we were more importantly bonded in JC. when does that ever happen in NCAA? So while no doubt this will be a battle with the 2 best D3 Wsoccer teams in the country, i think there will be a mutual respect for 2 great programs, and respect for each player. and at the end of the day, the loser will love the winner and the winner will love the loser, each and collectively playing for an audience of ONE.
oh and btw, here's the NCAA link to the highlights of the game. game winner was siiiick, starting at 0:32. i already watched it like 6 times consecutively.
