DAY THREE

Today we had another early 9 a.m. practice and we got to work with a British trainer associated with the Bermuda Futbol Association. We worked on some passing patterns and all enjoyed having a practice with him. Our coaches figured that since we were to have a game later on that day, we should stay out of the sun so that we would have enough energy to play at 7 p.m. We called up a small bus to bring us to the dockyard, which is a little town area with many shops. It was surrounded by water and a marina, which was a popular stop for many cruise lines. After our little shopping spree we went back to the Sandpiper for another great dinner of chicken and vegetable kabobs prepared by Chris, our goalie coach. Back at the field, many of us were a little intimidated by the number of Bermuda national players that rolled in on their mopeds. We played three, twenty-five minute periods against a team of girls that ranged from about sixteen and nineteen years old. Although it was our first official game together since the fall, we played as if we had never been apart, dominating in all areas of the field. We were moving the ball well, and really starting to look like a team again, and we also had the most amazing sunset and ocean view background going for us! Trinity Women’s Soccer walked off the field with a 5-0 victory over the Bermuda team, and five different people scoring each goal (Jenny Ley, Leigh Howard, Lily Pepper, Lindsey Monaghan, and Lauren Olsen).
