Seedings At Stake

After the dust has settled from a weekend of MIAA play it is clear that the Hornets have clinched at least of share of third place and a home playoff match in the MIAA tournament. On Wednesday, they will face a tough Alma College team  in a match that carries strong implications with regard to seedings in the conference tournament for both teams.  The Hornets also have a shot at the programs best regular season finish in over 8 years.  

Congratulations to Freshmen Attacker Emily Gray, a freshman from Clarkston (Pontiac Notre Dame Prep HS), was selected as the MIAA Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week. Gray came off the bench to provide a spark for the Hornets in their 3-2 come-from-behind win over Saint Mary’s. Along with her strong ball winning in the midfield, Gray scored the tying goal and set up the eventual game-winning tally with a through ball to an attacking teammate behind the Saint Mary’s backline. She is being honored as Player of the Week for the first time in her career.

Emily battles two Olivet defenders, earlier this year.

Training for the afternoon included 5v2, followed by three team keep away, 6v6 to goal and a touch of fitness.  Focus within the activities included playing balls into feet and improving communication, especially from players distributing the ball.  The team has made some huge improvements from Day 1 and the key to continuing to improve will be refining those little things over the next couple of days.

GO HORNETS!!!
