Watched about 40 minutes of the Cal-Colgate ladies' game the other weekend. Couldn't see the field or players for a good 10 minutes during the blizzard...just blurs on the TV. Actually couldn't tell it was a ladies game until it got clear enough.

It was rather entertaining...the ladies were slipping and sliding...clearly, there were problems with the footing. The ladies were all helping clear the 8-meter arc and other lines whenever there was a need. I though for sure they were going to stop the game until the squall passed, but they played on.

Reminded me of a high school soccer game way back when...couldn't see past 20 yards with the wind swirling the blinding snow...damned cold, too. It was actually fun, though...definitely something to remember.

The women are now 6-1 after beating Lafayette yesterday 13-3. In addition to a prolific attack, I have seen smothering defense and aggressive goalkeeping. The goalkeeping is not a surprise as our coach, Amy Altig, has coached gks for the U.S. national team.

Go Fightin' Blue Hens!
