Florida Schedule

After taking a peek at the teams we are playing down Florida, I have to say that it is not going to be an easy road. We are definitely going to have to earn each victory because the teams we are playing are not going to roll over and hand us the ball game. As I stated in my previous post, we are starting off with Heidelberg and Ohio Wesleyan, two very tough opponents. Heidelberg is currently ranked 8th in the country.
After our Saturday double header, we go back to Winter Haven for a double header Sunday where we play Wittenberg. The next day we will have a much needed off day. Four games in two days really does take a toll on you physically. On Tuesday, we play a single game against Mount Union. Last year we split a double header with them, so this should be a good game. The next day, Wednesday, we play a double header against Albion College who's from Michigan. We get our second day off Thursday where we will probably have a practice or something, so we may not be totally "off", but we'll see. Friday, which will be our last day down there, we will play Suffolk University, a team from Boston, Massachusetts.
The majority of our games down there are teams in our region, so it is important that we do good because is could be the determining factor in our postseason. If we do good against teams in our region this year and happen to not win our conference, then we have the possibility of getting an at-large bid in the regionals. But that would be a last-option sort of thing. If we do good in our conference, which I know we will, then we won't have to worry about it.
