Sunday night was the Department of Athletics Annual Awards Banquet. It's a fun night for everyone to get dressed up (some teams take this more seriously than others) and enjoy a nice evening/free meal together to celebrate individual and team successes. Soccer got a couple solid shout-outs during the night, including a footnote in President Kim Bottomly's speech when she recalled some of her most exciting 'spectator' moments came by way of watching us play! Of course she was referencing our WC Invitational Championship thriller when Katie 'Puma' Martore stiffed three out of four PK's to clinch the title for the first time in seven years...or was it when we beat the #25 team in the country to advance into the NEWMAC final four? Maybe she was alluding to the Wheaton performance when we played out of our skin. Hard to say really but still pretty cool to know K. Bot's a soccer aficionado. All in all a fun night, remembering good times, saying good-bye to four year vets, and pondering what next season might bring...Where will you be when Wellesley Soccer makes history?
For your perusal we've included some sweet pix courtesy of Llama.
Top: Catherine 'Scrappy Doo' Caruso arrived at 5:59:59pm as her personal protocol mandates and did well to keep a smile when her less punctual friends arrived...
2nd from Top: Llama as herself, Taylor 'Don't call me Tater' Harvey and SD stop to provide the paparazzi with a photo opp. (although the women behind them was less psyched about it)
3rd from Top: Lauie expresses her enthusiasm for the legendary 'W' cupcakes that adorned each table...or had developed severe hand cramps from all the clapping...
4th from Top: Sugar effects everyone differently, for Taylor it's a permismile...
