Out of the 14 players on the team, five of us are freshman, each having different thoughts of how this trip would go. Yet, although our feelings varied as we stepped onto the coach bus, by the time we arrived back at Randolph, we all came to say it was a time we would never forget. Although the games were the main reason why our team ventured down south, our true bonding came in the least expected places. From the long bus rides, to dinner at Smokey Bones, and even in the hotels after a long day. Although the bus rides seemed endless, they were anything but boring. It was a time for all of us to bond with the older girls on the team as well as Coach Wagner. Even during the delicious meals, the talk of how the games would play out as well as individual opinions were talked and debated over. We can all say we felt as if we were with friends that we’ve known for years instead of just months. We weren’t just eating together as a team, but as a family. But lets not forget about the two games that we played while on the trip! First up was Methodist; and although we fell short in overtime, we all gave 150% and when we walked off the field it was with a sense of pride towards our teammates and ourselves. Yet, the true victory came when we versed the Scotties of Agnes Scott College in Georgia. For us first years, it felt amazing to get our first collegiate win and gave us the drive to want more. Ending the trip on a good note, the bus ride home flew by and before we knew it we pulled up at Randolph. All five of us will never forget our first trip together with the team and all we accomplished.
