Team Pre-Season Adventure?

Hey all,

So i'm not sure what everyone's travel plans are (i'm not exactly sure what mine are,) but I think I will be getting to Claremont on the 24th. If anyone is in Cmont then maybe we can do some pre-season bonding at the beach or even scripps pool the 24th/25th. Holla at me with ideas/if you'll be there

we really need to step our soccer tennis up :

Hello All

Hi Team,

Thought I would say, "Hey," to everyone. Life is good here in Cali. I just returned from my 2 week RV adventure. My Mom, Bryce, and I had a great time. He is still in Wisconsin with his Dad and I am trying to catch up at work. I move offices in a week so I will have fun packing. Since the new building is open, all the field sport coaches are moving to the portables. Fun times!!

For those that do not know, Pritzlaff (our game field), was re-done this summer. They leveled it and put new grass out. Hopefully, it will be pristine when you get here.

I am excited to see you all and get going for this fall. If you have not done so already, please be sure you have at least tried each fitness test. If you are having trouble passing any, let me know and we can work on some changes in your plan to help you pass. Also, be sure you have done your physical- and for freshman, you have 2 sets of papers....one that is sent to the health center and the athletic set that you send to our trainers or bring with you to pre-season. We have 4 weeks to go!!!

The World Cup was fun to watch and I hope many of were able to see games. I think if we could have a little Brazilian flare, some France passing, Japan technique, German organization, and American heart and perseverance, we will be one hell of a team!!!

Enjoy the last month of summer!! Take care, Keri

WELCOME!!

so excited that the newbies have decided to post! welcome everyone, I'm seriously so SO excited for next year and can't wait for these new additions to our team, which by the way is pretty much the best thing in the world, so be prepared!

I don't know if anyone is an Arsenal fan, but I went to the stadium today (Emirates stadium) and it was awesome. I bought my brothers jerseys (Wilshere and Van Persie). Julia I tried to convince Bobby that he should get a Fabregas jersey instead but he was stuck on Van Persie...he has decided that he can only wear number 10 now because he thinks he's the best haha. Anyways miss you all!

HIII!

Helllooo! I’m Kerry and I will be a sophomore transfer at CMC next year from Washington State University. I live in a small town in Idaho and I typically play forward/outside mid. Seeing as it snowed and rained for about 90% of my freshman year, I am so excited to move to sunny California and join the Athenas! I’m really not sure what I want to major in, but... I should probably pick something soon. SO EXCITED to meet you all!

YAY FRESHMAN!!! we are all so excited to meet/play with you, thanks for posting and please keep asking questions!

Hey Everyone

Hi, my name is Sydney Stephenson and I'm going to be a freshman at CMC from San Luis Obispo, CA. I will be majoring in EEP (Environment, Economics, and Politics). I am very excited to meet you all in a few weeks. And I was wondering if any freshmen are planning on going on a WOA trip and if anyone knows when we find out where were going.

hi everyone

my name is Shauny Ullman and I am an incoming sophomore transfer from University of Denver. i play center midfield and i still don't know what i want to major in..probably not neuroscience though haha. i know a few ppl at cmc already but i am really excited to start playing and meeting all of you. i'll see you soon!

Hey, my name is Maya and im going to be a freshman at CMC. I'm from DC so I'm really excited to be in California next year!

This summer I've been working at a camp and trying to work out in the morning because it is super hot and muggy here. (Thankfully I've heard that southern California doesn't get as humid as it does around here!) I’m not sure what I want to major in but I love Spanish and want to continue to study it (and hopefully study abroad at some point)

Anyways, I just thought I'd introduce myself. I can't wait to meet and play soccer with you guys in a few weeks!!

Heyy!

Hi there everyone, my name's Molly and I'm from Seattle. I'm going to be a freshman at Scripps this fall, and I'm super hoping to be able to play with you guys! I'm finding time for fitness in between working as a photographer at the Space Needle (btw, if anyone's visiting Seattle this summer, let me know because I can get you up for free), but it's hard to train as a goalkeeper without anyone to shoot on me. I might go awkwardly train with my high school team again, after emotionally saying goodbye to them all in June...

I buy my ticket to fly down tonight, can't wait to meet you all!

question. why do the boys have so many pics with real madrid?? how did they get the job of driving them around??

hi :)

Hey everyone, my name is Claire and I'm from San Mateo. I'll be a freshman at Scripps, but I've got no idea what I want to study. I love soccer, and hopefully I get to play with you all this year.

I was just wondering if anyone knows when we need to get to school. Are we supposed to be there before school starts?

Thanks for all your help, and I'm excited to meet you all soon :)

Claire

!

Sup guys!!! Sorry about my horrible participation. Anyways, my name is Scooby and I'm going to be a junior. I love soccer and can't wait to see my team. I miss you guys a lot and think of you all the time. I've been coaching soccer camps and chilling this summer. I hope everyone is well and working hard. See you soon and love you all!!

HIIII!!

Heyyyy!!! Posting this after Julia scolded me for not having gotten my "butt" on the summer blog lol and it's still a little late...sorry!!! My name is Lauren and I'm from San Mateo, which is in the Bay Area. I'm going to be a sophomore this year and am majoring in Econ-Accounting with a Finance Sequence (I thinkk). This summer I'm working for a summer school at my high school (which I've worked at for the last two summers), hanging out, and relaxing. Getting in some workouts during the week, and I've played in two soccer games. I have two more this coming weekend. I am really excited to get back to school and see everybody again!!!!! <3

some love from the boys' team

Hello all,

The boys send their love in the form of a video.  Pretty inspirational stuff.  They also say to work hard this summer, because they don't want some weak team representing them from the girls' side...I told them to just worry about themselves.

Hope you all enjoy it; it's a great video.  I know it's hard to keep working hard all summer, and since we're dead in the middle of it, I thought we should take some time to remind ourselves of what we're working for...and if you guys have been watching the Women's World Cup that shouldn't be a problem! How about that Wambach goal!?!!??!?!??!?!  Or Hope's save(s)?!?!?!  One of the sickest games I have ever seen.  Unbelievable.  Can't wait for Wednesday's game against France!!!

And newbies, if you're reading this, we'd love to hear from you!  I think we've only heard from one so far.  Let us know more about you guys and how your summers are going!

Have a great week.  USAAAA!!!!!!

Love,
Julia

hello sweet angels!

Hey guys!

My name is Hannah and I'm going to be a sophomore at CMC. I'm majoring in Neuroscience and Applied Math (yeah it sounds disgusting but it's super interesteing) and I'm also premed. I'm a goal keeper and I'm from sunny southern California (which is SO HOT right now). We don't have air conditioning in my house right now and it's like 88 degrees in here and I want to cry. I'm working as a lifeguard/swim teacher at a day camp in La Canada, so I have a sweet one piece tan going on. I'm basically spending all my time at CATZ (what a surprise) so if any new comers have any questions about those work outs, let me know and I can clarify those "weirdly named" exercises. Dan and Ryan say hi to everyone as well. My life right now is basically CATZ and work so I, like Jen, would love any distractions.

I'm SO EXCITED for next year/to see all of your smiling faces/ to meet the new comers. I'm watching the US kick Brazil's ass currently (I mean hopefully, we're winning right now so). I also work with someone who plays Redlands soccer, and I've been talking a lot of shit, so get ready to win. A lot. I'll see you all in less than two months!!!!!!!

Love you all!

Hannah

HP7P2 and Meet Bobby!

Hey guys,

So since a ton of people asked to hear about HP I thought this would be the easiest way to tell everyone. My friend allie and I had tickets to the world premiere so we got to walk the red carpet and when we walked in we were 2 ft away from rupert grint and the red carpet was amazing. There were dementors and diagon alley and a ton of cool sets and live owls! I put pictures up too. At the after party we sat next to Ginny and Fred Weasley (I dont know their real names) and then we were right next to Emma Watson but her body guard made us leave because she was having a private moment with her mom (how private can it really be if its in a room with 300 other people though?) anyways it was really fun! Miss you all! Freshmen you guys should post!

ps. Julias video reminded me of one of Bobby (my brother for those who dont know him. It somehow has almost 2,000 hits which is hilarious. I couldnt figure out how to add it to my post though so heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYLXbYkXNyU

Meet Teddy.

Apparently I am one that posts all the youtube videos.  There's just so many of them.  And they're so good.

Hope everyone is stoked as I am about JAPAN winning today!!!  Haha probably not...but I am asian so I guess that makes sense.  Looking forward to watching USA kick some Brazilian assss tomorrow!!!!

Heyyy

Hi everyone!

I'm Amy and I'm from the Bay Area. I'm going to be a sophomore at CMC this year and I'm not sure what I'm majoring in but I do know that I'm pre-med.

This summer I've just been working part-time at a vet clinic, attempting to play pick up (it's hard to find people to play with around here), and hanging out. I might get a second job at a climbing gym starting next week as well.

I can't wait to get back to Claremont and start the season with everyone. I'm so excited to see all the returners and can't wait to meet all you new people! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer (except for the training packet- ewwww so much work!). See y'all in 6 weeks and 6 days!

Much love :)

Hey guys!!!

Hey!

My name is Sara Tweedy and I will be a Sophomore next year at Harvey Mudd. I play defense mostly and I think I might major in bio-chem. I somehow managed to get two chill part time jobs up here in Michigan; I am working in the weight room at University of Detroit Mercy for June and July and I'm researching at the University of Michigan. Its pretty awesome, but I can't wait to go back to Cali (away from all this humidity!) and play some real soccer with y'all! I'm sooooo pumped for next season (as long as I manage to get into shape)!

Goooo Athenas!

Hollllllllllla!

Hola Chicas!

Hi my name is Jen Najjar (Rooooooooosssa also refers to me as "Fresh") I am going to be entering my Junior year at CMC. I'm a Government major with a sequence in Leadership. This summer I am back home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am interning for my Congressman and training with the enemy, aka my twin brother Jeff, who will now play soccer for Occidental. I also spent all of last semester talking about participating in show "Wipeout" with Rossssssa, but WE BOTH failed at following through with it. Anyone who is interested should let us know. WE are def going to get on it (or at least the application process) this summer, so we can dominate not only on the soccer field, but reality t.v. :D To all the returners- I can't wait to see ya ladies in August. I am literally counting down the days-63. To all the newbies-If you have any questions on classes, professors, dorms, dining halls, roomies etc. please don't hesitate to ask. (e-mail any of us. My e-mail is jnajjar13@cmc.edu. )

p.s. This is an S.O.S. Work can be really dull sometimes and I get delirious. If anyone is bored hit me up on gchat or fb chat. We will have really entertaining convos-that is a promise.

I was in Athens last semester studying abroad, which was amazing, but am glad to be back so I can start training (yay!) and flushing toilet paper (ew I know). Anywho, I'm super stoked about this season! I'll be in San Fran this summer for an internship and will be training my ass off to work the past 4 months of gyros off. Please feel free to complain on this blog, I certainly will be.

Miss you guys and cant wait to see everyone soon and to hear from the freshmen!!!

ps. thanks Madi I wouldnt have figured it out without you. Also, everyone should go out for track instead of lacrosse :)

Herrrrooo

Hey guys,

My name is Madi and I am going to be a Junior at Scripps majoring in Media Studies and minoring in Psychology. I am a forward and am from the Bay Area. I also play lacrosse (if any freshmen want to play both and keep the tradition of playing both alive let me know!) and since I don't want to miss a season with either team I am going abroad this summer instead of the school year. I am leaving in 2 weeks and will be spending 6 weeks at the London School of Economics. I am also planning trips to Spain and Paris so I'll keep you updated on that! Can't wait to see everyone in August and meet all of you freshmen!

Madi

ps. if you are having trouble figuring out how to post like I was its on the very top left corner!

Hellooooooo Athenas!!!!

Hello people!

My name is Julia Nishioka, and I am one of your co-captains for this upcoming season!  Just wanted to start off the blog.  I am from Honolulu, HI, and will be a senior at CMC, majoring in Science and Management (Biotechnology sequence).  I am applying to dental schools this summer, so if any of you incoming freshmen have any pre-health questions, please let me know (Michele and Rosa, other seniors on the team, will also be able to help!).

This summer, I am working a few soccer camps and taking summer school at the University of Hawaii.  I just got back from a trip to Brazil, where we played soccer and played tourist, it was amazing!!!  Some of the Brazilian teams were really good, but I definitely know our team could keep up with them :).  Now, I am back home, and working hard to get back into shape!  I also have been going to practice with some of the younger teams in my club, Honolulu Bulls.  We actually just had a training session with the coach of the Men's U21 Irish National Team, he had a really cool accent and called the boys, "lads" or "chaps," it was great.

Hope everyone is having a great summer.  Can't wait to hear from you all!
