Last Road Weekend of the Season

Hi All,

Sitting here for shootaround in the "historic" Payne Whitney Gym at the John J. Lee Amphitheater at Yale. Mouthful, yes.

We're on our last Ivy road weekend of the season at Yale and Brown, once again hoping for a sweep. Overtime losses have cost us a sweep in the last two weekends.


My preview, notes and links for the weekend are here.

We've had a real unfortunate theme so far this season - going on road trips without our whole team. It's such a bummer when anyone has to miss a trip. In the past few weeks we've had several players with illnesses, including Brittney Smith who battled last weekend after being very ill all week. These last two weekends we just haven't been ourselves without our whole crew. Last weekend, Cassie Cooper, who is injured, skipped our trip to Columbia/Cornell because she was sick. This weekend, senior co-captain Michelle Meyer has had to stay home because she was too sick to make the trip. I know that's been agonizing for her ... we all miss you and hope you feel better FAST!

It just doesn't feel quite right when someone is missing. We're really a family and we miss each other when we're not together.

But it's a big weekend for us - GO BIG GREEN!
