I can stop her

I can stop Melissa Gonzalez. No one else can claim to. I was on the field before Field Hockey Warm ups vs UMass and she passed a ball that wasn't controlled by her teammate. It went towards the bench and right at me. I stepped on the ball, like you do in soccer, to stop the ball. I think the players were slightly impressed. The people in operations were impressed.

Currently I am living and dying by game tracker and Marquette radio. It's my life line to a game I'd love to be able to watch online. I'm also delaying driving to my lake house for the day until I find out the final result.
