It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been in school for almost two weeks now and it’s Labor Day! We’ve had an exciting start to our Fall Sports Season with our women’s soccer team winning it’s first two games at Negoesco against Marist and San Francisco Academy of Art. Our defending WCC Champion Men’s Soccer Program had an impressive home victory against 2008 NCAA Tournament Participant University of Missouri-Kansas City. Our Women’s Volleyball and Cross Country Teams will be in action this weekend on the hilltop. As you can tell there is a lot of action taking place on our campus.
It’s been great seeing the returning players come back to campus a year older and wiser! We’ve also welcomed six, yes, six newcomers to our program and all indications are pointing to this new group making quite an impact on our team! Before we get into our pre-season workouts in full force, we have been completing our conditioning tests. It’s been a great start to our season as the team showed quite a commitment to each other by coming back in great condition. We can hardly to be able to get on the court with the players next week!
The 2009-10 edition of your Lady Dons is a very enthusiastic, young group of ladies who are hungry to get to the top of the West Coast Conference! We will be tested early and often by a demanding non-conference schedule, but it’s a schedule that will prepare us for the always tough West Coast Conference.
We’re all looking forward to an exciting year in War Memorial! Speaking of War Memorial, we practically have a brand new gym. New floor, new baskets, new banners, new courtside seating and new lighting have only added to the allure of a gym where some of the all-time great basketball players have played.
I hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day weekend!
GO DONS
