The tears in senior Clare Perry’s eyes said enough after we defeated Lafayette 3 to 0 this past Sunday. Two weekends into our season and still undefeated, something that Clare and I and the rest of this year’s senior class has never experienced before. In our four years of Davidson hockey we have been through some difficult seasons. Seasons full of tough losses and great successes, but we have never experienced anything like this, 4-0. If I’ve learned one thing from DCFH, it’s that winning isn’t everything, but our recent success has brought a new sense of confidence to our team that didn’t exist before. We finally believe in ourselves and are realizing what we are capable of, and we won’t let anything stop us from reaching our potential.
This past summer, Ginny and Catherine came up with three core values for our program to focus on: Commitment, Opportunity, and Heart. The goal being that these three words will embody the spirit of D.C.F.H. and reflect the attitude of our program. Wednesday evening, Sandy Helfgott, Davidson’s Director of Physical Education and Recreation, came to talk to us about the importance of maintaining these three core values and living them out throughout the course of our season. Sandy’s speech was extremely motivational and a good thing to hear leading up to our weekend at William and Mary. We are in a good place right now, especially after receiving 4 votes for the top 20, but we need to make sure that we don’t let up and this weekend will be a good test for us.
Keep following along for more behind the scenes D.C.F.H. moments! Go Cats! – Tobe #7
