Independence Riptide

Ugh. We lost to the team in the bottom of the flight, Independence Riptide. 2-0. Pathetic.
But, we have excuses...

1. We were missing Rebecca because she is out (probably for the rest of the season) because of her "sprained ankle".
2. It was an OVER AN HOUR ride to get all the way up to Independence.
3. It was on Thursday, because the Montville Courage mothers don't want the game to be on Mothers' Day (Sunday, get ready!).
4. It was after NJ ASK (New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge, a big ol' test that everybody hates that takes, like, 4 hours per day. Four days of testing), so we were all pooped.
5. We thought we were gonna CRUSH them, because when we played them before, we CRUSHed them. Probably because they only had 9 players (a full team is about 14).
6. It was, like, 6:00, or something.

So, it was a horrible loss, and now, we're in the 4th spot in the six-team flight, down from 3rd. Ugh.
