| We’ve turned
the corner! The past few weeks have been much
improved, and we are currently on a (much needed) three
game win streak. That puts us in a tie for second
place in the West Division (and overall) in the MAC.
Honestly, it feels great to be winning again. With
such a young team, I was starting to get impatient
wondering if we were getting better. It’s funny,
not to mention a huge relief, when you finally see it
click. I think it actually happened in the second
half of the Western Michigan game at home on January 12.
We ended up loosing in overtime on a last second shot, but
we gained a lot of confidence coming back from a
substantial halftime deficit. And since that game,
we have stepped up our play and managed a strong win at
Buffalo and two come-from-behind wins again Northern and
Kent State. Certainly the obstacles on our team have
not subsided with Dana being injured in a car accident and
having to sit the rest of the season out and Raechelle and
Becca both missing a game due to small injuries.
However, I feel every time there is a set back, someone
new steps up and plays great, which in my mind is the mark
of a great team. We will certainly be tested in the
next two weeks as we head to Western Michigan tomorrow to
revenge our home loss just two weeks ago. We play
Miami at home on Sunday (our sellout game) which starts a
blitz of four games in ten days, all against top MAC
teams. The sense of finality is starting hit home
with me as I realize I have only ten regular season game
left. I find myself trying to savor the little
things that I know I’m going to miss when my career at
Ball State is over and make the most of upcoming games!
