First things first, however, we had to beat Bowdoin...again! At least we would be home this time, and we hadn't lost in our gym all season. As a matter of fact, the last time we lost in our gym was last year in the NESCAC Quarterfinals...and we were determined to NOT let that happen again. As if writing a dramatic saga, we lost the first two sets, as we had done during the season, and we seemed to be teetering on the edge of history repeating itself, for better or for worse (we could lose the Quarterfinal match for the 4th straight year, or we could reverse sweep Bowdoin for a second time this season!)
Fortunately for our Team Story, we reverse swept them and kept our home undefeated streak alive and well! PEPIN IS OUR HOUSE!! We were on a mission, and the first team in our way was Bowdoin. One down, one to go (in keeping with ONE game at a time mentality!) We were alive and on to the Championships to be hosted by Colby College the following weekend! And, when the Quarterfinals were finished, Colby (#1) was to play Williams (#6) and MIDD (#2) was to play Wesleyan (#4). The re-seed the final weekend and since Williams was advancing as the lowest seed, the drew the #4 seed, bumping Wes up to the #3 seed, and playing us. Since we'd played them twice already, us winning both 3-1, we felt confident but realizing sometimes it's tough to beat the same team 3 times in one season.
