A well exam are done, for a week at least and sadly so is the midterm break. It was a mini holiday which was just what many of us needed to recharge the proverbial batteries. A time to reflect on the first half of the fall semester and perhaps neglect your studies for a bit, knowing that the inevitable “all nighter ” you will have to pull on Sunday night seems further away then on regular weekends.
Surprisingly Winn hall was not as empty as I thought it would be. I had expected more students to take advantage of the weekend to visit their families and I was selfishly pleased that they did not go, because nothing beats their company. Company which made watching Trinity Women’s’ soccer on Saturday night a fantastic spectacle to be a part of.
The first moment we took our places in the soccer pitch stands was literally the last time we sat for more than ten seconds. The game was full of emotion because of the intensity in which Trinity and Centre’s soccer teams competed which was accentuated by the passion of the whole crowd, especially members of Winn hall. They never missed a beat in keeping with the pulse of the game. Their emotions shifted from real despair when Trinity conceded the first goal to a sense of revitalization when they equalized and eventually we erupted in elation when Trinity scored the winning goal with ten minutes left in the game.
Even though this is a brief summary of my first Trinity soccer game which neglects to mention the nitty gritty comments and exclamations strewn with witty vulgarity which provided endless comedic pleasure for not just me, but the whole crowd, I am confident that it gives you a glimpse into what Trinity soccer is all about- unity in enduring a rollercoaster ride of emotions which ironically parallels what we have experienced in the past couple of months and will undoubtedly do so over the next four years.
