Post Season NCAA Run Takes Us to Baltimore


Despite not advancing to the NESCAC Championship game, we earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament!  We ended the season ranked 2nd in New England, and earned the 3rd seed for our Regional at John's Hopkins University, playing Manhattanville in the first game. 
 Because of the extremely long drive, we practiced early in the morning before classes on Tuesday, and then departed after the last class that day for NJ.  We stopped along the way to pick up Thai takeout--our preferred dinner on the road, and then went on to NJ to spend our first night.  

Then we went on to Baltimore where we checked into our second hotel (and where we would call home for the next few nights!)  We practiced at the facility that day and then went out to dinner at Cava, which was new to me but even better than Chipotle!  Our hotel was nice, and we had some down time to finish work, and because it was the final week before Thanksgiving Break, we had a few players who needed to take exams while at the hotel, so I proctored a couple of those and people finished up work and we prepared for our NCAA run!
