Turbine Potsdam
We did it! We beat Turbine Potsdam, the first place team in our league. We prepared all week and got the results we wanted. We even had help from the assistant coach of the men's team and the coach of one of the boy's youth teams in the club. Both played a huge part in our teams' success. They will continue to help us while we are still in the race for first place. The three points we gained from winning will be crucial as our season comes to an end. We have four games left and are still 3 points behind the top two teams. The top two teams are Gutersloh and Potsdam who are tied with 42 points. The unfortunate thing is that Gutersloh's final games are with teams that are in the bottom of the table. All we can do is just hope they tie or lose, and we can do our part by winning the rest of our games. Despite that news the Gutersloh won their game on Sunday too, it was still a huge victory for our team to beat Potsdam. We celebrated by having a party at the Austrian girls' apartment. There was plenty of Jagermeister and Beck's to go around while German schlager music, or popular German songs you can sing to, played in the background. Winning that game helped remind us to still have hope and to continue the fight for first place.
