It is Saturday morning in Pensacola, Florida and the team has just finished eating a yummy breakfast at the Comfort Inn (Belgian Waffles!). Last night was an eight hour bus ride from Saint Leo, and many of the players spent most of the time passed out! We think that Lucy has selective narcolepsy, that girl can pass out immediately in any moving vehicle.
All the players got to sit down with Coach Sam and chat about their progress this season and where the coaching staff is looking for them to improve. Let's just say that 15 meetings takes about six and a half hours! Dinner was at a Ruby Tuesday's in Gainesville, and most of the girls took advantage of the salad bar.
Today the Lions take on Arkansas Tech at 2pm and University of West Florida at 7pm, both central time. Last season, SLU lost in 5 sets to the AT Golden Suns in the final match of a marathon of four matches in less than 24 hours in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, so we are looking for some payback this weekend! The UWF Argos are a perennial region contender, losing to the SSC's own Nova Southeastern in last year's NCAA Regional Finals. So far this season, UWF has lost to Lynn and Tampa, but has beaten Eckerd and Nova. They are a very talented and competitive team, and the Lions are looking forward to another challenge!
