Happy 2010 to all of our BC fans!! We are now really in the heart of our season, 20 games in two months. Wow!! We opened 2010 with a road win over the Wildcats of Randolph. It was good to get that first conference win under our belts. We had gone 28 days without competition so it was good to get back into the routine of practice and games. Kudos to our players for coming back in shape!! That's a long break and it takes dedication to keep working diligently on your game when you know you aren't going to be playing.
We had four games last week. After traveling to Randolph we then went to cross-town rival EMU and dropped a 68-55 decision. It was a tough loss but the players responded and we were able to get two wins this weekend over Guilford and Emory & Henry. Two in a row and with three of our next four games at home we hope to keep that streak going. There is nothing like a "home court" advantage and we have the best fans in the conference.
Congratulations to Jordan Burkholder on scoring her 1,000th point on Saturday. It is quite an accomplishment! She became the 17th player in Bridgewater's history to surpass the mark!
On Saturday - Eagle Productions and the Nininger Nuts - are sponsoring a "white out" game! All fans are encouraged to wear white to the double-header. The first 50 students at the men's game at 1 p.m. will receive a t-shirt. The women play at 3 p.m. and the first 50 students to that game will also receive a t-shirt. I'm really excited about this event!! If you tuned in last night to the Louisville-Villanova game at LU they were also hosting a "white out" game. Rick Pitino (LU's coach) was decked out in a white suit. I'm wondering if Coach Willi will be out in the 'burg this week trying to find a white suit??
I hope you guys are enjoying the new year!! Come out and support the Eagles whenever you can!! We truly appreciate the support of the students and the community!!
Three games this week ...Let's make it three in a row tonight against LC!!
As always ...GO EAGLES!!
