An Unexpected Ending

When I walked by the fishbowl on Thursday afternoon I was surprised by the number of people that were packed inside. I was excited to see so much support for our men’s soccer team! It made me feel like school spirit is climbing back up to something big here at Rockhurst. I thought it was really neat that SAAC and Sodexo catered the watch party and that it was free for students. I feel like Rockhurst is doing everything in their power to get behind our athletics. It is something that I am noticing a lot more on campus, and something that I know our athletes love and appreciate. I wish that we could have been in Georgia with the soccer team to cheer them on because I feel like having fans cheering for you helps the team morale. I don’t know who had the idea to throw a watch party for the game but I think it was a good idea, in lieu of having a bus that would take us to the game. The match was intense and I could feel the excitement and tension throughout the room as we all watched nervously to see how our Hawks would do. The game was so suspenseful, but it was nice being with others who were feeling the same way I was. We all know the outcome of the game, but it was sad seeing how close we had come to being 1^st in our division. It still was a feat to get as far as we did, especially since we have never made it to the final four before. That means that we can only go up from here! I hope that our soccer team keeps getting better, so that one day we will be number one in our division not only in Men’s soccer, but our other sports as well! Go Hawks!
