Back on the court on Wednesday, we traveled south to face Gordon College and won our second game of the season! Although it was a long ride, it was worth it for the win. When we arrived to the gym for our warm up, they were playing Colbie Caillat’s “Bubbly” (one of Coach Sid’s favorite songs off her C.D.), which isn’t exactly the best music to get fired up for a game, so we didn’t know exactly what we were in for. The real warm up consisted of “old school” Jock Jams, a personal favorite of Katie McCabe’s. This game was also exciting because Katie scored her 1,000th point! Everyone on the team was so proud of her, but all she was concerned with was that we won. Her success is something each of us, as freshmen and sophomores, aspires to attain.
Coach McBride gave us the day off on Thursday, so after pottery class, I ventured off campus and grabbed breakfast at Tim Horton’s. This may not seem like a big deal for some, but for those of us from Massachusetts “Timmy Ho’s” is a slice of heaven. It just opened in Waterville this fall, another comfort of home for so many of us who have chosen to spend our college years in Waterville. For those who haven’t traveled to Waterville, or haven’t been here in a while, there are a lot of great off-campus options. (In addition the dining halls which, as good as they are, require a break once in a while.) Waterville has the traditional places like Applebee’s and Ruby Tuesdays, but also some great places downtown like the Bread Box, Blues Café and the Last Unicorn. We did a team meal after the holidays at Ruby Tuesdays, for example, and it gives us a chance to spend some time away from the campus.
We then took advantage of the evening by watching the men’s team beat Husson. Many of us are free from classes on Friday, so we’ll spend the day sleeping, shopping in nearby Freeport, and preparing for our game at Mitchell College on Saturday, which will require a 7 am departure from campus.
