Tough to follow on the heels of EQ's wrap up of our alumni game against Bowdoin, not sure if I can put as much of a positive spin on our effort in the afternoon.

It's always a great opportunity to match up against Bowdoin, a team that plays the game just like we do. They will come after you on defense and are very aggressive in transition. It's not so fun when they beat you at your own game and that's what happened yesterday.

Early on we created some great looks in transition and just couldn't capitalize on them, as things played out the rest of the first quarter, Bowdoin stuck some shots and our 2-1 lead quickly turned into a 8-3 Bowdoin halftime lead.

The good news for our team is that we're capable of creating great opportunities in the middle of the field and in our 6v6 offense but we need to be mentally tougher. We must learn to play through our own mistakes and the other team making some plays and not let it effect how we approach the game.

Defensively we played hard but it was our offense that continued to cough up the ball which allowed Bowdoin to get their transition game going.

Not much time to get ready for the next one, we have Skidmore at home on Tuesday. Skidmore will be a tough test as they're coming off a good win against St. Lawrence last week and have had some time to prepare for us. Should be fun!
