End of Spring Update with Teeny Vogt!

I think the spring season was awesome for our team. We had a rough start, but I think that lost to Truman was essential for our team. It definitely showed us our weaknesses, but when that weekend was over and we went back to practice, it was like everyone knew what they had to do.

We went to St. Louis the next weekend and came back with two wins against SLU and Wash U, battling the weather conditions and rain delays. That was a big accomplishment for us because it proved to everyone and ourselves that we bounce back. I don't think we would have played as well as we did that weekend and the next against Lindenwood and Maryville without that first loss. I think that this was the perfect spring season to set up for season in the fall.

We know now that this group is capable of recognizing our weaknesses and making them better, which is the best quality of a great team. We are playing in a league this summer, keeping up on touches while working on our own and everyone is going to come back better and stronger in the fall. In addition to our team we have great freshmen coming in that I think can step up and be a huge part of our program. Also, we are all hoping that Tori and Molly come back strong for the fall because they will be a tremendous help to our team as well. Fall of 2012 is going to be our season.
