The end of the season team meeting has officially brought us to the, well, end of the season. It's been one heck of a ride full of sweaty practices, hella long points, rainy practices, hella long car rides, early practices, fond memories, weird memories I want to forget, and friendships that will either last 4 years or last 4ever. Nancy has become a very important part of my college career and I am forever grateful for everything this team have given me. We have worked so hard all year long and now its time to finally take a much needed break and get ready for the next season (except for those that are playing summer league you try hards [just kidding actually good for you guys way to go!]). Next year we will get new rookies, our current rookies will turn into vets, our vets will become seasoned leaders, and our seniors will be doing real life things. Next year will be very different as we can never recreate this exact team again with all our different quirks and personalities, but it will still be amazing nonetheless. I could go on and on about how much I love Saucy but I'll let my teammates take it from here:

THANK YOU seniors for an amazing last season and good luck on the rest of your lives. THANK YOU rookies for sticking around us weridos for an entire season. You guys seriously rock and I can't wait to see all the super cool things you will do in the future. THANK YOU Shayman, Twlight, and especially Bucket for coaching us. I know we can be a lot to handle but we really appreciate all the time you put into this team. THANK YOU to all the parents that have supported us all season long. Special thanks to those that supplied us food at the tournaments and to the Watts and Laurin for housing the team two weekends in a row. THANK YOU to my teammates for being some of my best and closest friends at Iowa. I love you guys THANK YOU all for dealing with my mediocre tweets and bad spelling all season. It has been an honor to be your tech guru this past year and I know that Greta will do an ever better job keeping everyone updated as social media chair next year (idk about Chloe she might do fine). Cheers to the end of the season!

Because we didn’t get enough of Ames at Sectionals, we took another visit to Cyclone city! This weekend included a lot of lasts for our seniors and Coach (Bucket) Patrick Landson. Some of these lasts included team trips to Panera and Saucy halftime dance parties. But I will talk about this more later… Saturday began with tough games against Minnesota and Iowa State. We were treated to an awesome tailgate sponsored by the Tingle family. The day ended with a win against Wisconsin La- Crosse and a super fun dance party…which we also won (shoutout to Sarah, Bex, and Bridget for bringing the house down). Sunday welcomed strong winds and looonngggg points. All of our Saucies worked their Nancy’s off. We started the day off with a tough loss against Wisconsin. We won our last two games against Marquette and Wisconsin Eau Claire; both coming down to Universe points! Our rookies completely stepped up during this tournament and made some baller plays. Overall we kept seed for Regionals! Everyone should be super proud of their performance this tournament; we pushed ourselves as a team and had great sideline presence! There were a lot of emotions being felt at the end of this tournament. For our six seniors this was the last time playing for Saucy. I think we all can agree that this program had a huge impact on our college experience and there is no other team like Saucy Nancy! It is made up of some of the best, craziest, and kindest people out there. It will always have a special place in all of our hearts and the friendships made will last a lifetime. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us over the years. Also, thank you to our coaches for all of their hardwork and dedication to this team. Bucket…you and your clipboard will be missed so much. To close…this was a great season and we cannot wait to see what Saucy will do next year! “She needs wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the high stakes” RIP all of Stevie’s toenails. (no, I didn’t make it through this without crying) |
