SOCCER UNDERWAY … Coach Rob Marinaro was pleased with the way his women’s soccer team got started on the team’s first day of practice Wednesday morning in the Field House.
Last year, only 10 players passed fitness test on day one. This year 16 out of the 21 players on the roster passed. The rest will have two more opportunities.
Marinaro said 16 is an all-time record. That means players took their offseason conditioning seriously while they were away from campus, “and that has me excited to see them coming back and prepared to go after a MAC championship,” he said. “We are in a much better position than we have ever been, and we are excited about the conditioning and the commitment of our student athletes.”
The next two days will see the team continue with fitness tests in the morning followed by two training sessions. The afternoon sessions feature more teaching with a bit more playing style in the evening just to get players acclimated to being back and to the style of play.
There is a lot to pack in over the next 16 days before the Flashes start their season Aug. 22 at home vs. Western Illinois.
So lift the weight, push yourself, and see how substantial you can go. women's weight lifting gloves
