All better now

I was able to get my laptop fixed

I saw a men's soccer player...who I won't name...riding a nice pink bicycle. He stands out...I am confident his play will too.

Melissa Gonzalez is a fantastic athlete. An amazing athlete. I heard that she is one of the top 5 field hockey players in the country. On top of that I heard she could have played another sport at the Division I level. It is not possible to talk about great UConn athletes without mentioning her.

She put the boogies on some defenders yesterday. Lauren Sherer is also really really really really good. Cara Silverman had a goal and had another one taken back.

I saw Rayell Heistand make a nice play on defense too.

Yesterday was also my first time as a public announcer. It went well. I was concerned that I wouldn't have the right energy level but I did. I apparently sounded fine. There are two names that I have to work on and I apologize non-stop for not saying them correctly. It's Sheer-er and Man-air-oh. I'm working on it!!! Usually there are one or two names you mess up. Especially at your first ever game. The other thing is that you can't have people laughing in the press box while you try and announce. It just doesn't work well. I was able to pull through...pretty well without laughing uncontrollably. Although you probably did hear some giggling going on.

There is also so much to keep track of during the game. You need to see the substitutions, you have to judge whether or not a shot was a shot. Communications also needs to keep track of who shot what, who got an assist. Who touched it. Sometimes you have to judge saves from a bad angle. There is a lot to working in communications at a game...and field hockey is one of the easier sports to do.

Volleyball and Basketball are the most difficult because so much is happening.
