5 in a row!

Five in a row!!!  I am so happy for this young team.  We have really improved in the last month and feel confident as we round the corner for our final push in the IACC.  Four of our last six games are on the road. 

In our last game against Central, we were very solid offensively with five players in double figures and were dominate on the boards.  Our post players did a great job of scoring on the blocks and our guards hit the outside shots as well.  Tracy Hartwig, IIAC Player of the Week, continues lighting up from the arc.  She currently leads DIII in 3pt
FG % at 50 %.  That is out of 415 schools.  WAY to GO Tracy!  Watch for her on Media Com's Iowa Conference show.  The media-com people were on campus yesterday shooting some footage. 


Feburary 10th will be our annual alumni game.  We will be welcoming back many talented BV Alumni that day and I know I will be looking forward to seeing everyone.  We will also be honoring our seniors Tracy and Lindsey that day.


I also would like to say congrats to our JV squad.  They have had a great season.  Just last night they beat Northwestern (after losing to them badly earlier this season).  Coach Smith has done a great job with our young players.  Thanks Kelli! 

Welcome!

Welcome to the official weblog of the Buena Vista University women's soccer team!  Thanks to our incredible sports information staff, we now have a place where you can go to get updates on the team, match reports, and other information about BVU women's soccer! 

I was thrilled to be named the new head women's soccer coach last month, after two great seasons working as the assistant coach for both the women's and the men's team.  I am extremely excited for next season, as we are returning a solid core of upperclassmen and we hope to bring in a strong group of new arrivals as well.  Our team appears poised to have a great 2007 campaign.  Everyone is working very hard in the offseason to make next season the best in the program's history! 

During the season I will update this blog as often as I can, so that you will be able to get an inside look at BVU women's soccer!
