Saturday was set as a recovery day for the K women. Practice began at 10am inside the Anderson Athletic Center. The home of Hornet volleyball and basketball. Training consisted of lots of technical repetitions and touches on the ball. This lasted for approximately 45 minutes and then the morning concluded with 20 minutes of basketball. Lots of potential shown by some of the players and others still showing that they are pretty new to the game. Quite entertaining, not a thing of beauty, fun was had by most. Coach tried to make a couple coaching points about how basketball relates to soccer but couldn't sink a shot to save his life and maybe should just stick to soccer in the future.
The players had the afternoon off and took full advantage to see the Hornet men play WMU in a traditional exhibition match contesting the Gazelle Cup. After claiming the Cup last year the Hornet men put up a good fight to defend their title but were unable to hold off the Broncos who prevailed 3-1. Match Recap It appears that the Hornet men have a ton of depth and talent. They should definitely provide plenty of entertainment for K soccer fans throughout the Fall.
After dinner the Hornets would meet again in the evening and headed over to the pool with Coach Carlson for one of her pool workouts. A very popular pre-season event Coach Carlson worked the team hard for an hour in the water. A good effort by the girls and a strong recovery day should set them up well as Week 2 of the pre-season gradually approaches. Great Job Hornets!
GO HORNETS!!!
