What a great weekend!  Obviously, we were pleased to leave the Seton Hall tournament as champions, but this weekend was about more than just winning two basketball games.  It was a measuring stick of where we stand, a confidence booster, and an all-around fabulous bonding experience.  On the court, I was very pleased with our performance.  Every player on our team got to see playing time and got on the scoreboard in our win against Wagner on Friday night.  Freshman Julie DeMuth played awesome, and I think everyone feeds off her energy!  On Saturday, I thought we did a nice job and won a close game against a very athletic Seton Hall team.  We still have plenty of things to work on, but I feel good about where we are at the point in the year with such a young team. I was especially pumped to head out to New York , because I am moving there in July 2005 to enter the workforce of the daunting “real world”.  On Friday, in between morning shoot around and departure for our night game, I visited Citigroup and had lunch and meetings with future colleagues.  It finally hit me that I will actually be moving to New York as I found myself looking for apartments and figuring out the subway!  I have officially declared myself in love with New York City .  Plus, our whole team enjoyed the New York experience.  On Thursday, we visited Greenich Village for dinner and then toured Ground Zero.  I have been there several times but it never ceases to be an emotional sight to see.  We also spent Saturday night in Times Square .  We went to the Broadway production of “Lion King”.  It is definitely safe to say our whole team loved it!  Since I am the only player over 21, we just headed back to the hotel after the show.  It turned out to be a very fun night of team bonding!  Then we flew back very early on Sunday in time to unpack and get ready for the week.  Now, it’s two practices and then off to Cincy! Let the road trips begin….
