Regular Season is Here!

It's finally here! Our first regular season game is tomorrow! I hope everyone is as excited as the team and I are. All the fitness tests and two-a-days are finally going to pay off. I couldn't be any more excited coming into my senior season. Preseason went very well and everyone was super fit. Our preseason games went well too, we dominated. (:

I'm extremely excited for the team this year more than any other year before. I've been playing with some of these girls for three years (and I've known one my whole life lol) and this group of girls is really a great group and so much fun to play with. Our chemistry on the team is unlike any other team I've ever been on and you can see it when we are out on the field, even the freshmen have jumped right in like they've been part of the team all along.

Opening weekend starts tomorrow against nationally ranked Lynn in St. Louis at 1pm and our team couldn't be more excited. There have already been injuries, so tomorrow will be a test for our team, but I think that we can do it. I have full confidence in this team to do great things. On Sunday we play Missouri Southern in Quincy at 12 pm and I hope everyone is able to make it out to North campus to see our home opener, we appreciate and love all the support and energy we receive from our fans during games.

So please come out and support us this weekend, against Lynn tomorrow (Friday) at 1pm in St. Louis and then again on Sunday against Missouri Southern at 12 pm in Quincy, and you'll see just how amazing this group of girls is (:

Walker Update - 3 Days Complete!

I can’t believe we already have three two-a-days of my senior year under our belts. All our fitness tests are done (Thank God!) and everyone has been working really hard at these practices. It is evident that everyone has been working hard this summer. We have worked on our ball skills, transition, finishing, one v ones, and fitness. These drills are all very important for the success of our season, but there is one thing we cannot really work on at practice and it the most essential thing for our team….TEAM CHEMISTRY.

Even though we all miss our hilarious seniors from last year and all their funny tricks they played on the players and coaches, it is exciting to have the new freshmen on our team. They will all bring something unique to our team whether it is on the field or outside of soccer. Every night our team has done different activities to build our team chemistry and grow as a team. Team chemistry can be the difference between a good season and an outstanding season. With these activities, we are able to learn the personalities of each player and hopefully, we will be able to play very well together on the field. Without team chemistry, our team would not have been as successful as they have for the past six years.

For my senior year, I would love to host and win the GLVC conference. I know this will be hard season but winning the tournament is very achievable. This team can accomplish great things if we continue to work hard at practice and continue to develop our team chemistry.
