It's been a busy week, and though I mentioned last week that I wasn't stressed about midterms, I did end up spending a lot of time writing a midterm essay. This week has gotten off to a great start though, as we were at the Concordia sports complex yesterday to watch film and take our team picture. The complex was the busiest I've ever seen it, as soccer, hockey, rugby and wrestling were all going on, and everyone was in a good mood after our win against Sherbrooke the day before. How we play on the weekends has a great effect on our team's frame of mind, and this week at practice should be a positive one. 

Beating Sherbrooke had a big impact on the final standings in the conference; they are our opponents again next week in round one of the play-offs, and since we both finished with a record of 5-3, our win against them gives us the tie-breaker and we will host the game next week. 

The elements were a huge factor on Saturday, and the heavy rain definitely altered the offensive play-calling. Still, the conditions were equal for both teams, and we feel like we outplayed them in all 3 phases of the game. We're not sure yet what the weather will be like this weekend, but looking ahead at the forecast, it looks like we'll be practicing in some pretty cold temperatures; so between the cold and the rain, we should be prepared to play in whatever Mother Nature throws at us.
