I’ll use bullet points because I have a bunch of disparate thoughts that I’m too lazy to connect coherently. Hey, this is coming out basically a week after it happened. What did you expect?
- The scrimmage (which can be seen here) was played like a normal match with two 45-minute halves and a referee and … assistant referees? They looked more like players wearing shiny vests over their sweats and pointing their flags generally in the right direction. This will come into play later.
- The squad was split into Team Blue, which was mostly upperclassmen with the exceptions of Eileen Murphy, Ashley Cathro, Meredith Johnson-Monfort, and the freshmen goalkeeping tandem of Julia Cili and Natalie Phelps, and Team White, which was all underclassmen except Jayna Fittipaldo and the senior goalkeeping tandem of Elizabeth Cablk and Sami Sample.
