WOMEN'S SOCCER FINAL FOUR: DAY 5

Saturday was a memorable day to be sure. The game started at 3:30 pm Tampa time, so the team got a quick early lunch and headed out to the field around 1 pm. Michael Banks from the GSC Office was in attendance for his duties as part of the NCAA men's soccer championship committee, and he was nice enough to join us on the audio broadcast. As the game went into overtime, the rain started coming down heavier, making things tough for us outside in front of the press box with no cover.

It was a special season for the Argos. The game came out in favor of the opposition, but UWF left Tampa with their heads held high, finishing a season with just one defeat. There were hugs and tears, but the team knew what they had accomplished and traveled back to Pensacola feeling proud.

It was a late night arriving back at the UWF Soccer Complex at around 3:30 am Sunday morning, but members of the men's soccer team were there to greet the team and congratulate them on an outstanding season. It was a touching moment and one I'm sure the women's team will always remember.

In the coming week we'll be posting photos from the trip, so stay tuned to the Argos Blog.
