On The Record With Megan Wong, Part IV

The past 2 weeks have been black and white for our team. Last week when we played at home versus Academy of Art (Wed. Sept. 24), SF State (Fri. Sept. 26), and Monterey Bay (Sat. Sept. 27), it was a breeze for us. We took each team in 3 games (except SF State in 4) giving us a record of 14-1.

This past weekend we were on the road and it was a different story. We traveled down south to play Cal Poly Pomona, ranked 16th in division II on Friday, October 3 and lost in 4 games. It was a full crowd that night. The stands were full, the band was loud, and the fans were crazy. We knew we could win and wanted to win, but it didn’t seem like it when we got out on the court. Saturday, October 4, we drove to Cal State San Bernardino to play the 2nd ranked team in the nation. We came out slow in game 1, but gave them somewhat of a fight in games 2 and 3. It wasn’t our best performance; however, we did what we could do with what we had on the court. There’s only so much an athlete can do for the team, but it didn’t seem we could come together as a whole.

Despite the 2 straight loses over the weekend, we have Humboldt and UCSD to focus on for this coming weekend. Our current record is 14-3 overall and 6-2 in conference, putting us tied for 2nd place with Cal Poly Pomona and UCSD. CSUSB leads at 7-1 in 1st place. We’re not giving up on our goals of winning conference and going to Regionals.
