Progress!

Yesterday the girls faced Moorestown for the second time this season. Even though we loss 4-0, I couldn't have been more prouder of them. They played incredibly well, and showed how much potential they have. Our JV also had a great game fighting hard the whole way.

Monday we have Pennsauken another tough opponent. Since we play them on Monday, we are having another VOLUNTARY practice tomorrow at 8am. If you can make it, please do so. However this is not an excuse to get out of other obligations. The practice will be from 8-9 and we will simply be playing a pick up game. So get ready to play against (or with) your coaches!

Great Day to be a Greyhound!!!!

Another awesome, productive day. The girls increased their win streak to 3 defeating BCIT Medford 6-0. Even more awesome is that in this win we had 6 different goal scorers! However the girls still know that it takes a lot for me to be satisfied so we used this game as an opportunity to keep on growing. They did a great job and it's so cool to already see how far they've come in only a few short weeks.

GAME ADDED!!!
Due to our Monday game being cancelled this week, we have added a NEW game to our schedule. We will now be playing THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27th versus Gloucester City at 3:45. That means our pasta party is now moved to Wednesday at the Muscavages.

Another reminder that apparel order forms AND money are due Friday. No late acceptances allowed.

Lastly, a much appreciated Thank you to the Paynes for the delicious caramel apples that they provided to the entire team. Thank you!!!

Stronger

The girls had another productive practice. They are continuing to get the concepts the coaches give to them. Although there are times of frustration (between the girls and the coaches!) they fight through and continue to try their hardest. Your dedication will show through tomorrow girls!

For those of you that might have been absent. At practice today we finally got our apparel forms. The forms AND money are due THIS FRIDAY. The sooner we get our forms and money in, the sooner we get our clothes! If you need a form please see me.

Just another reminder that on Thursday we are having a pasta party at the Muscavages. Seniors are responsible for sides, Juniors: drinks, Sophomores: desserts, Freshmen: Drinks or dessert.

We are away tomorrow at BCIT in Medford. The bus will be leaving AT 2:45, remember to bring your  away (blue) uniforms. The team is wearing the skirts (as long as they are not hiked up!) and a black top to school.



We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.

Moorestown Friends-2 Northern Burlington-3

Yesterday the girls got their 3rd win of the season to bring the team record up to .500! They converted some good goals and held on to the win despite playing down a player for several minutes. Our JV team also won yesterday beating Moorestown Friends 2-1. They are having an awesome season and it's SO COOL to see everyone improving!

Now for some housekeeping notes...
Our game on monday versus Pemberton is CANCELLED. We are only supposed to play them once in a season so we are keeping our senior night game. Even though Monday's game is cancelled we will continue to have the voluntary practice on Sunday at 11am. I hope all that are able to, do come out, it will be a fun practice and a good chance for you all to increase your level of play by playing with or against your coaches.

Our game on tuesday now is Varsity AND JV. BCIT now has a enough for a JV game so everyone travels!

On Wednesday is the College Recruiting Night. This will be a great night for those of you interested in playing any sport in college. You will be informed on what to expect and how to better prepare yourself for this process. I highly recommend anyone even remotely interested in playing in college to attend this function.

The Muscavages will be hosting a team pasta party on Thursday after practice. We will cover what needs to be brought later in the week.

A very late but needed THANK YOU goes to the Irelands for hosting the team pasta party last Thursday. You did a great job and the girls said it was delicious! Thank you!!!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, and see most of you girls tomorrow!

Hounds-2 Township-0

The girls got their second win this season! They played a strong 60 minutes. Britany Hafner got a well-deserved shutout. And goals from Nicki Kotelnicki and Danielle Pandl were awesome! I was extremely proud of the girls today, however we still have room to grow and won't be satisfied until we've reached our goals.

Our JV also had an awesome game today. They came out dominating with goals from Courtney Nutt, Jenna Ferrell, and Katie Ireland. Marilyn Tartaglia got the shut out for the JV.

Both teams played well, and made me proud to be a Hound! Good Job girls and get prepared for a tough game against Moorestown Friends!

Reminders

Hey girls,

Obviously practice was cancelled today, due to factors beyond my control. However a few little reminders for tomorrow...

Varsity/JV: we are AWAY tomorrow at Burlington Twp. The bus leaves AT 2:45 so make sure all equipment and bodies are on the bus by that time. Also all away games you are to do buddy bags (sorry for posting this late, so hopefully you all remembered!)

Freshmen: you are HOME tomorrow vs Burlington Twp. Make sure you have your white Jerseys.

Everyone: On Thursday Katie Ireland is having a pasta party at her house. Everyone is of course invited. If going, Seniors are in charge of drinks, Juniors: desserts, Sophomores: chips, sides etc, Freshmen: talk with each other 2 or 3 of you bring bread, the rest bring drinks. And if you are doing the walk-a-thon bring your $15 in TOMORROW!

I hope everyone faired well with the storm, I barely got hit with anything so I hope the same goes for you all. See you all tomorrow and BEAT TOWNSHIP!!!!!
