With the results largely not in our favor, we learned that there is a long road from where we are as a team currently and where we want to be. The first real test for our team was last night against Texas A&M. At the beginning of the week we were off to a great start getting to know the freshmen and integrating them into our system of play.

Now for the update that will continue to come weekly (hopefully!) We have just completed our 6th day of two-a-days and only have a few more left. After a summer apart, there is so much to catch up on with everyone! Only great things are to come from them! Finally, it is always so much fun to come back together with the girls that have become your best friends. They are all very talented and exciting to watch. Second, we have a great recruiting class that has come in ready to make an immediate positive impact on the program. The seven of us have only three months left to be division one athletes. When you do something for so long its weird to think about what life will be like without it. First of all, I am a senior who will be concluding my lengthy soccer career (as well as the rest of the girls in my class). This year is very exciting for a number of reasons. This is the hardest part of the year, where everybody is broken down both mentally and physically.
Here at Rice there are two fitness tests, one each of the first two days, and then all sorts of playing in between two scrimmages.įor the freshmen, preseason is like nothing they have participated in before, and for the veteran seniors, it is their last. This two week period of at least two practices every day is an intense preparation for the regular season. With this said, we begin our new difficult task with pre-season. It is the title that every conference USA team aspires to have and one that will not be kept without a fight. As the reigning Conference USA champion, there are higher expectations than ever before to perform and repeat what we worked so hard for last year. Every year is a new beginning for the Rice soccer team.
