Men's soccer: Reversing a trend
Reversing a trend of losing, that is! We squared off against the other winless team in the league last night in wet conditions. Rain in the previous hour prompted a few of our players to stay home, meaning we played a man short for the entire game. Despite letting our opponents score their first goal of the season, we controlled almost the entire game, winning 6-1. Good to be back in the Wins column!

Effort is not a myth
Thanks to Seth Godin for his reminder that effort is not a myth. Luck may be a factor, but hard work is still required for success, however you define it.

Co-ed soccer: Close but no cigar
We got out to a 1-0 lead before succumbing in a 3-1 defeat. Still, we played a great game which could have gone either way. Still winless on the year... obviously saving it for the playoffs!

Men's soccer: Ugh
In a very winnable game, we played lazy and selfish to turn a 1-0 lead into a 3-1 defeat. In a small bright spot, I stopped another penalty kick.

Co-ed soccer: Goal! Goal! Goal!
Our co-ed soccer team put three balls in the back of the oppositions' net, a great accomplishment considering they were the defending #1 and many-times-over league champion. It was only slightly dampening that they put seven in our goal! Still, maybe our team is finally turning the corner! I was also glad to notch my first goal in over two years, a header off of a perfect corner kick from Sergio.

How big is the known universe?
Here's an xkcd comic on the size of the observable universe. Pretty neat!

Men's soccer: Wherefore art the regulars?
It's tough to win when you only have one of your regular defenders. A patchwork crew of subs and out-of-position forwards did their best, but we limped to a 5-2 defeat. I'm out of town next week, so I am sure they will win their first game without me, just like they did last year! I still like our chances if we could just get our regular group to show up.

Men's soccer: Tough break
We lost 3-1 tonight as we were four regulars short and against a tough opponent. Our reserves played admirably but ultimately the other team was better. A personal highlight for me as goalie was stopping a penalty kick in the 2nd half to preserve the tie, though I eventually gave up two more goals.

Co-ed soccer: Waiting for a W
Our efforts last night were not enough to put us in the win column, as we gave up three first-half goals in a 3-0 loss. We did play our best half of the season in the second half, with numerous just-misses on the opposition's goal. In knee-related news, I blew past somebody for the first time in about a year during a dribble-and-run down the sideline. Not quite full speed, but encouraging nonetheless!
