Women's soccer enjoys support
Letter to the Editor
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the Notre Dame student body for their unbelievable support at our NCAA playoff game Friday night. On a night when temperatures dropped to about 20 degrees and snow was all around, our team witnessed what was probably the best student support and turnout in my two years as a coach of the women's team.
I am extremely impressed by the fact that you all would not only give up your Friday night, but that you would do so in the weather conditions that we had. I cannot put into words how much that meant to our team and ultimately our victory. Just to let you all know, when we go on the road the student turnout is amazing. We are always playing through 90 minutes of nonstop harassment from our opponents fans. It was so great to see our students turnout in force waving yellow number one signs! Even though out attendance from the community has been great, it was the first time in a while that we truly felt the advantage of playing at home. Thank you so much!
I'd also like to thank John Micek and Sharon Bui for their work in the athletic division of our student government. Thanks to them and the athletic department for their donations to purchase the "number one" finger signs that were used as give-a-ways at the game. I'd also like to thank all the students and in particular the residents of Knott Hall and Fisher Hall. You guys were awesome!
Lastly, I want to take a moment to thank the men's soccer team. The support you have shown our team this entire year is incredible. It's been special to all of our players and I personally appreciate it, more than I can express in words. Thank you!
