This weekend, the Generals played in their first games of the 2012-2013 season. The annual Fall Ball Play Day took place this past Saturday, where the team faced off against many competitors that they will see in season. CNU, Mary Washington, Roanoke, and Lynchburg came to Lexington to play against the W&L team.
The Generals played four 30 minute games against ODAC components Roanoke and Lynchburg and in region competitors Mary Washington and CNU. Although the official scores were not kept, we are pretty sure the Generals went 2-1-1 in scrimmage play - pretty impressive for only playing together for a short 3 weeks! This was a great opportunity for the team to come together and show how much all of their hard work this fall has paid off. Family and friends of the team all came out to show their support and the parents organized a tailgate for the players. At the end of the day, the players and their parents came together to celebrate the season's first success! With only two more practices left of the fall ball season, the Generals look forward to facing off against alumnae this Saturday for the annual player-alumnae game!
