Halloooooowinona preview


Hello Durgaland, this weekend is halloween, but more importantly, it's Hallowinona! It's a mixed, open, and women's tournament hosted by Winona State. Each team dresses up, usually themed, and plays in costumes. We were lumberjacks last year, and boy did we look great when we took first :).

This year, the roster going is:

Eliza McDermott
Erin "Shish" Shishilla
Brittany "BFaust (Fausty? What is this?)" Faust
Natalie "DT" Warren (It's sticking, I'm sorry. Until another one comes along... Dusty Trap it is)
Lisa Erlandson
Liz "Lix" Moen
Erin "Shaquille" O'Neill
Rachel "Swiffer" Takazawa
Stephanie "Tanner" Tanner
Taylor "Tee" Bridges
Erin "Kirmy" Curme
Maddie Ranum
Sarah Scott
Laura van Leuven
Bri Sennott
Monica Le
Andrea Henkel
Sarah "Turtle" Mitchell
Leah "Princess Leia" Svingen
Lexi Gurtchef
Sheila Novak
Katherine Zimmermann

I really hope I'm not missing anyone. As you can see, our roster is packed with awesome women.
Our collection of nicknames is building. I'm resisting the urge to just make one for every person right now, but the made-up ones would just detract from the real-and-awesome ones.

This is our last tournament of the fall season, which means a few things.
1. Seniors... I love you
2. We need to play hard and kick ass

Granted, this is a really, really fun tournament with lots of awesome teams going, but let's do well.

The teams in our pool are:
Winona (Monaz)
St Thomas
Gustavus
UW-Whitewater

The brackets aren't up yet, though.

Should make for a great Saturday. The weather is quoted as looking "Decent. High 40s I believe. Yup, Saturday and Sunday." So it's lookin goooood.

Practice today looked really good too. Better flow, better throws.
Oh, and Friday night at Olaf there is a Larson Hall Halloween party that Durga and the Zerks are attending and it's going to be a blast. Halloween is the best.
