We played our second cup game tonight against Mainz and won. The German cup games start out with 32 teams; divisions 1, 2, and 3, teams are randomly selected to play each other. These games do not count toward the league game record… they're played on Wed. nights and league games are on Saturdays. These games are single elimination and we've played 2 so far. So now there are only 8 teams left including us. Whoever wins the German cup championship goes on to play in European cup games. It would be really cool to be able to travel to other European countries to play, so I hope that we continue to win! :)Tonight I listened to the NMU home game vs. MI Tech. girl's basketball online. I have great memories of playing against Tech. and great memories of playing in that Arena at NMU. During the 1st half I thought about the Athletic Director and decided to send him and e-mail to see how he is doing and to wish him and the athletic department Happy Holidays. He must have checked his e-mail pretty soon after I sent it, because during the second half the radio announcers said hello to me and announced that I was listening to the game from Germany. :) It was really cool! The 2 girls that are still on the team (Maria Kasza and Al Carol) that played with me, played great, and it brought back good memories of playing with them. One of Tech's best players (Sarah Stream) actually made a recruiting visit to NMU when I was a Senior there and I happened to be her host that night and she stayed over at my house… so it was fun to hear her playing well too. The game was awesome to listen to, but unfortunately MI Tech. pulled out the win in the end.
