Being named one of our three new captains, what excites you about 2011 and your senior year?

It is a cool thing to be voted a captain, but just being a senior or upperclassmen in general puts a lot of weight on your shoulders. You are kind of expected to set the bar for the team in and out of season. We're also a big part of keeping up the morale and chemistry among everybody. There are going to be a lot of new opportunities going into the new season and I'm excited to see where it takes our team. We have a really successful program and I hope we can live up to all the expectations we've set for ourselves.

What was your favorite game so far as a Lady Hawk?
I don't know if it's possible to have an ultimate favorite game, but one of my favorites is playing Southern Indiana in the GLVC tournament last year. We scored with 10 minutes left in regulation. J.B. kicked the corner, it got flicked on when Brittany went up against the goalie, and I headed it in. It was a total team goal and an important playoff game. Of course everybody loves the games when they score big goals.

What is your favorite sports team and athlete?
I'm a big Cardinals fan. Since Ludwick is no longer a redbird I don't know if he can hold the top spot anymore. I think Skip Schumaker may have taken over the position.

What’s your favorite song on your IPod?
Before games it's "9MM" by David Banner. I listen to that before all of our away games. All other times it's anything by Jack Johnson, "Flake" is definitely one of my favorites.

Explain what “Bash Brother” means?
Erin Conroy and I are Bash Brothers. It comes from the movie D2: The Mighty Ducks. I'm not sure I even remember how it started. I know it involved brainstorming ideas for Hawk Wild, and when Mighty Ducks was thrown out, it just kind of stuck. We used to always run together during warm ups and outside of practice to catch up on things and have ever since. Now we live together and have Bash Brother time 24/7.

What is your favorite food?
Pretty much any kind of Chinese. I could eat General TSO's chicken, broccoli, friend rice, and crab rangoon every night of the week.

What is your least favorite team fitness activity?
CONES! I hate the cones with a passion! For those who don't know, you start at one end and sprint back and forth to all of the cones which increase by 5 yards. You also have to make it back in a certain amount of time. In preseason we do 8 of them. These are by far my least favorite, but one good point is we always knock them out first before any other fitness.

What is your favorite pregame activity?
I have two favorites. Before home games, my roommates (Conroy, Aimee, Bergie and Tori) and I have pretty intense dance sessions in our kitchen. We dance around like hooligans to get pumped up for the game. Our favorite to dance to is a "Listen to Your Heart" remix. My other favorite is on the drive to the field. We blast Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" karaoke style with all the windows down.

A New Year Note, From Dave

As we enter 2011 the QU Lady Hawks have high expectations as usual. Our goals are extremely high as our focus this off-season is to attack every single day while developing our weaknesses and making our strengths a dangerous asset to our personal game. The chemistry of this group is already growing as we nominated three new outstanding captains… junior forward Aimee Ubriaco, junior center mid Megan Wingenbach, and sophomore center back Sam Andert. The cohesiveness of this program is a definite strength. The competitiveness and motivation each player has is contagious and will push each other to reach higher levels.

We return a talented core group and we will sign another talented class in February to help reload what we graduate in May. Every class in our program is strong and that provides a positive balance for the next four years. We will also see the return of sophomore defender Sam Andert and freshman defender Molly Costello who have been out with injuries. We are excited for this 2011 year and I am thrilled to get back to team activities this January. The three phases until August are the winter conditioning phase, spring season, and the summer H.A.W.K. Program on their own. Each off-season phase is set up to help every player grow individually and then it will all come together through time so our team will be locked and loaded come August.

It seems far away, but time for greatness is limited as the difference between good and great is inches…not feet. We will attack each day by carrying that “Fit For Life” attitude which will generate another successful Lady Hawk year.

FIVE PERCENT!

Half-time Show with Lori Mannion!

Freshman Lori Mannion participated in a Quincy University home basketball game halftime show earlier this month in front of a crowd full of fans! A lot of our players love to participate in halftime events! This is what went down...

Step 1: Lori had to spin around 10 times.

Step 2: Lori then had to put on an over sized basketball jersey.  

Step 3: Lori then had to pick up a basketball and make a lay-up.

Step 4: CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

We are so proud. Good job Lori!! GO HAWKS!

Catching Up With Jack

As the semester comes to an end, we are not only keeping up with our soccer skills with pick up futsal games and working out, but also studying hard for exams.  This year has gone by so fast with endless days of preseason, naps before practice and after practice, and the long hours spent traveling with our wonderful bus driver Jack.  It has been a great start so far with school and soccer and I hope to finish strong until the very end.  I cannot wait to finish these exams and go home and train again for the start of the spring season.  I always try to keep looking for the future and staying fit for the next stage in Quincy’s soccer program.  It will be a tough one, but us Hawks can do it.  It’s a great day to be a Hawk!
