Hockey Night Part Two!

 Just a quick update - I just got back from the Men's D1 Hockey Game vs. Air Force and WE WON!!!! It was a great game, we won by a margin of just one goal, 3-2. The student section will tell you that there may have been some questionable calls....but hey, what kind of student section would we be if we didn't? ;-) We were very loud and definitely proud to be Mercyhurst Lakers!
Anyways, it was Mustache night tonight - so since I can't grow a mustache, I made one :) I even added a little blue behind it! Not only is blue one of my favorite colors but it's also one of our school colors - Blue, Green & White.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

It's a Mercyhurst Mustache!!

Again, my mustache for the Hockey game!

Hockey Night at Mercyhurst College!!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you've been having a great week! I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to lately! This week was our last week of classes. So I turned in my portfolio, and my curriculum this week. Now this weekend I'll be finishing up my Geology paper, and studying for my Geology final and Promoting Literacy final. Both my finals are on Monday - but I'm not too worried, I've been studying this week and I feel prepared for both!
Tomorrow is Open House here on campus! Because I'm an Ambassador I will be working Open House tomorrow giving tours to prospective students and their families! Open House is always a lot of fun, there are tours, talks given by admissions, you can meet faculty and staff from all the different majors and departments on campus and there are even some of our student clubs represented too! Maybe if you are coming I will get to meet you! If you see me feel free to come up and say hi! I'll be in my spiffy green Ambassador jacket.
Now, on to what is really exciting - HOCKEY!! Last weekend our Men's D1 team had two huge Hockey games against UConn here on campus! It was so much fun! A bunch of students got together on capus and decided to theme the Saturday night game "Classy" night - so we all dressed up super nice and went to cheer our boys on to Victory for a sweep! :) This weekend we had two games, again and tomorrow's game is themed Mustache night. My roommates and I are just going to make paper mustaches and wear them, haha! But it should be a good time! I'm off to finish working on my paper now... but tomorrow night is a Hockey Night at Mercyhurst!! GO LAKERS!

Classy Night at the Hockey Game! (That's me in the front row, 2nd from the left!)

Gotta love those Lakers!

Hey everyone! I hope you have been having a great September so far! I certainly have :) These past two weeks have been crazy! Over the past two weeks we've started the pledge process for Ambassadors, had the Red Carpet Fall Ball, my roommate turned 21 (YAY) and Soccer Club held their first ever fundraiser - a t-shirt and hoodie sale! Classes are in full swing now as we are already approaching mid terms in the next two weeks. (Aahh!)
Our Men's Soccer team has gotten the season off to a great start with a record of 6-1-0 overall. On Thursday afternoon we took out section rivals Slippery Rock and it was a great game! We won 2-1 with the Lakers goals scored in the last minute of the first half and the winning goal in the last 30 seconds of the second half. Talk about a nail bitter! You can read an article (and watch videos of the goals) here, on our athletics website! Fans from both teams were going crazy as the Lakers took on the Rock - even the fans have a rivalry! Louie the Laker, our mascot got in on the action by pumping up the crowd and maybe a little taunting ;). The game was especially exciting for me because my younger brother Patrick goes here to Mercyhurst now, and is on the Soccer team! I always went to the Mens Soccer games before, but now I definitely go because I want to see if my brother plays! During the Slippery Rock game he got in and actually scored the first goal! It's really exciting to get to watch him play, and I'm proud of all the hard work he and the rest of the Mens team has put into their season so far!
Speaking of soccer - tonight is SAC's (Student Activity Council) 3v3 Soccer Tourney! I'm playing with my two friends Andrew and Aaron - and hopefully we win! MSG (Mercyhurst Student Government) and SAC hold free events for students ever Friday and Saturday night. Last night was the College Cook-Off held by MSG. I didn't make it to MSG's event last night because I went to the Mercyhurst Club hockey game! Unfortunately we didn't win against Robert Morris, but I got to see my friends play, hang out with my other friends and cheer on my Lakers!

So sorry for the long blog - but I wanted to catch you all up on what's going on here at the 'Hurst since I last blogged! Have a great weekend!
