We had a very busy, and fun, Saturday during our stay in California. First, we went for a training session to get some touches on the ball and to get some stretching in. We also took a team picture with the beautiful california landscape in the background before heading back to the hotel.
After practice, the team headed for a quick lunch and shower before heading to Venice beach. What a site that was! The team put their feet in the beautiful pacific ocean and had many laughs while people watching. Venice beach is, by far, the strangest place we have ever visited while traveling! Assistant Coach Bri got in on the fun and helped a street performer with his act...he was a glass walker! After the quick stop in Venice Beach, the team traveled to Carson City to the infamous Home Depot Soccer Center to watch the one and only David Beckham and the LA Galaxy take on Toronto FC. The Galaxy won 2-0 and Beckham was exciting to watch (and to look at!)
We ended our trip with an unfortunate 2-0 loss to a very good UC-Irvine team, who are regionally ranked. Despite our two losses, the team played some very good, competitive soccer, with everyone on the team contributing throughout the weekend.
We returned home to BG with a hunger to start MAC play this coming weekend. We will take on our first MAC foe at NIU Friday, and then will travel to Western Michigan for our Sunday match.
