2010 Preseason Underway

The 2010 BGSU Women's Soccer team officially began pre-season training camp on Friday, August 6th. The day began with some meetings and "Christmas" (a.k.a. gear distribution - man are they spoiled!), and concluded with the running of the annual Falcon Fitness Test followed by a short training session. The team has completed preseason and already have the foundation of a very cohesive and talented group. Pre-season has been extremely competitive as the team continues to build toward the beginning of the season, but there have also been many laughs and light-hearted team activities along the way. A few noteworthy team activities include the Iron Chef competition and Midnight Madness with team Camo being triumphant over team Black Attack.

IRON CHEF COMPETITION:
Each one of our seniors "captained" a team to compete in the cooking contest. The teams were given $40, 1.5 hours, and the secret ingredient of "potatoes" and the rest was left up to each team's imagination. The teams were judged on taste, creativity, and presentation.....and boy did they make it tough! The food was truly delicious and it was rewarding for the team to prepare the food together and to eat the foods that they, themselves, made. Watch out BG restaurants....the BGSU Women's Soccer team could start a successful catering business! :)
