Week 1: Alumni Game
After their first week of practice, the Bears faced last years' seniors and the old men that came before them in what was a dry heaving bonanza. This is not true at all, but I bet you laughed. Actually, there was just one former player who spoke too soon when he decided that he would dominate the field after 3 years. He lasted one play and was lost forever. The current players beat the alumni before they gathered to celebrate last years' victories with a banquet, where the 2008 team received their Ivy Title watches.
Week 2: Colgate and Hobart.
The Bears left Colgate with a win and a loss. These were just scrimmages, so in my book, the win counts and the loss doesn't.
Week 3: 1st regular season game at Lehigh
The Bears travelled 5 1/2 hours to Bethlehem, PA Friday where they defeated the Mountain Hawks 13-12. With just over 13 minutes left in the game, the Bears were in the lead 12-6. How did the score end up at 13-12 you ask? Simple. They just stopped scoring. Until of course, senior Kyle Hollingsworth got all hopped up on adrenaline and fired one in with three minutes left to play. Oh, and All-American goalie Jordan Burke remembered he was good and started making saves again. Easy solution for an easy victory.
Here is a picture of Hollingsworth's final goal by Kent Daiber from Brown Green Sports.
Up next: First home game vs. Hofstra on Saturday. See you there.
