Hello all! Just got back from Madrid last night where we won the preleminary round of the University tournament. We played one regular 40 minute game on Tuesday which we won by about 30, and then we had to play two 20 mintues games against two different teams on Wednesday. The games were an hour apart and we won both of those games. We traveled to Madrid with the men´s basketball team, men´s soccer team, and men´s handball team. The men´s handball team lost their first game so they went back on Tuesday evening. The men´s soccer team won the preleminaries like us, while the men´s
basketball team lost in the finals. The men´s soccer team and us will now travel to Leon to play against the 12 best Universties in Spain on April 25th I believe. This is apart from the league we play in, and I guess it is Spain´s
version of the NCAA´s. Only difference is that many of the players are paid, and some are only signed just for this tournament. As long as you are "enrolled" in the school with the proper paperwork, you can play. The team that wins it all in Leon will play in the European Championships sometime in June. One of my teammates, Carolina, is from Madrid so her family and friends all got a chance to see her play near home which was nice for her. They had made signs for her and cheered really loud for us so that was nice!The picture to the right is of all of us after the game with Carolina´s friends. The picture above is clearly a few of us cheering on the ones playing. The other girl who is not dressed out with me is Peque, who has a hurt ankle. She should be back soon though, as hopefully will I :) My kids team had a good practice today, and we have a game tomorrow which should be fun. This Saturday we have a home game against Leon!
