Ode to the Selfie

First of all, I would like to apologize to any of our avid blog readers for not having a post last week.  We would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the season through the blog, Facebook, Twitter, and your physical presence at our games.  It was a great season full of ups, downs, bumps, bruises, and everything in between!


Some of our ups of course include our ODAC Championship...




As well as six of our players receiving ODAC honors...

Christina Benedetti (pictured above) was named the ODAC Player of the Year as well as being selected to the first team along with Alli Shearin and Leanne Stone.  Cara Mulligan (pictured above) and Meade Brewster were both named to the second team with Olive Waxter picking up the third team nod.

While all of these accolades are fantastic and the whole team should be proud, what they should really be proud of is there successful use of selflies!  For those of you that don't know, one of Urban Dictionary's definitions of the word is:


"When someone takes a picture of themselves looking ugly or funny and sends it to their friends to get them to laugh. People who do this are not trying to look good and usually don't. The typical selfie face involves a peace sign and duck lips."


The team has these gems down to a science, case and point the beauties I received a few nights ago that brought a huge smile to my face.  I just didn't feel it was right not to share them with the rest of the world...








The other definition that Urban Dictionary uses describes someone who takes a selfie as someone who doesn't have any friends to take a picture with, but our team has thrown that definition out the window! Everything's better when our team works together, and that includes selflies!
