Haverford

On Tuesday O'Hara GirlSquad took on HUDA women for the second time in just a few days. The result was the same, however the game was very different. GirlSquad won the game 7-4, but did not look nearly as invincible as they did in the tournament win on Saturday. GirlSquad looked sluggish and HUDA Women came to play. The game featured many misfires by the GirlSquad, and at one point, HUDA even tied the game up, 2-2. Many of the girls played with a timidity not seen since they first picked up a disc. It was a sobering experience for several of the players, and hopefully, it will cause them to rededicate themselves and play like the champions they are. It was only with fierce defense from Monica and 4 scores by Blue that O'Hara's team was able to seal the deal. Hopefully, with a month to go before Eastern's, GirlSquad will be able to get enough practice to regain their edge.

Wednesday brought HUDA's A team to O'Hara. Once again, it was a challenging game for O'Hara Ultimate. With Curran and Szkud nursing injuries, and HUDA playing at or near the top of their game, the team was simply overmatched. Even with both of those players healthy, O'Hara's odds of winning would have been slim. O'Hara Ultimate could not capitalize on HUDA mistakes and made too many of their own and fell 15-6. This was the second loss in a few days to Haverford and the third lopsided loss of the season. Overall the team still needs to figure out how to minimize mental errors and eliminate miscues on the field. Patience, team play and field sense are three major areas that are lacking in the losses, but have been present in all of the teams wins. Hopefully, with many games still to be played, the team will find some consistency.
