Jessica Senek: Mid-Season Update


Jessica Senek and the Golden Eagles take on Nazareth at 7:00 pm tonight
It seems like it’s been months since our first tournament in Baltimore, Maryland (Goucher), but it’s only been a couple of weeks!! We sure have stayed busy with a tournament every weekend and games every Wednesday, but our team is still working hard. Despite our upsets at Goucher, we came back the next Wednesday to compete in an exciting win against D’Youville. We took them to 5 games and came back to get the win. 

Over the next couple of weeks we traveled to Elmira, Cortland and Union. While in Elmira we took a little visit to Jaime Snyder’s house and it was great to hang out with the team. A lot of player’s parents were there and they made us one of the greatest meals ever. I think me and Nicky (Jones) and Jess (Greiner) ate about 10 pieces of garlic bread.

This past weekend we traveled to Geneseo to compete in one of our most important tournaments, SUNYACS. Unfortunately we lost all three games, and it was a heartbreak. But this won’t put us down, we are focusing day after day to push through this phase and succeed. And we will!! After we played at Geneseo, we stopped at Coach Schlegel’s parents house on Consenus Lake. It was perfect. It was right on the water and was awesome inside. To conclude the visit, Nicky, Coach Burdick and I had a couple heated games of UNO. Sadly, Coach didn’t win a game, but he's still number one in our hearts.
