Throughout the course of the 2011-2012 season,
MVNU junior guard Melissa Eickholt will write a weekly blog about what is
happening with the team. "Staying
Strong Towards the End" (posted on
February 1, 2012)
After finally breaking our long losing
streak, it felt good to be back in the win
category! The team was tired of losing and
becoming very frustrated with it. Once we
won, it was like a weight was lifted off of
our backs and we remembered what it was like
to be on the winning end of things.
Following the W against Goshen, we were able
to put together a well-played game and
defeat Grace as well. We didn't show up to
play the first time we played them and it
showed in the score. The second time we
played them we were determined to give them
everything we had and it worked for us. Next
up was IWU, the No. 1 team in the nation. No
one was scared of them, but once again we
didn't show up the whole 40 minutes of the
game. Defensively, we couldn't complain
about the job we had done, but offensively
we knew we could have produced better. We
learn from our losses and make sure we hit
the practice floor even harder so that the
mistakes we make in the games are not
reoccurring mistakes. With just six games
left in the regular season, the team looks
to stay focused and end the remaining games
on a positive note. 2012 has been sort of a
struggle for us, but as a team we look to
lean on one another and help each other get
through each and every struggle that is
faced throughout the season. There have been
good times and some bad, but we continue to
stay together as a team and that is what
will help us finish the season off on a
positive note. Now let's meet some more
players!!

Amy Daniels - Amy is a sophomore
majoring in biology. She graduated high
school from Pleasant and lives in Marion.
Amy transferred in to MVNU and we are so
happy that she did!! One thing about Amy is
every away trip she would spend the entire
time doing homework. She would have a book
out the whole way there AND the whole way
back. Everyone else was sleeping, but Amy
was taking advantage of the four-hour bus
ride and being a good student. GOOD JOB
AMY!! She is a girl that can be very quiet,
but excels at what she does. She works hard
at practice and it pays off in the games.
Emily Steveley - She is from
Wapakoneta High School and if you were to
ask her what her town is famous for she
would tell you that Neil Armstrong is from
there. She majors in exercise studies and
spends her free time sleeping. Her name is
Emily, but if you walked around campus or
went to a game you would find everyone
calling her Mole. And again if you asked her
why people call her Mole, she would casually
point to her nose and say, “it's because I
have a mole on my nose.” If you were to be
gone for a while and then come back to her
apartment, you would find her sleeping on
the futon or taking a nap anywhere else but
her own bed. Mole is a ball of fire and
loves to have fun!
Courtney Swart -
Court is from Grove City and majors in Early
Childhood Education. She also lives for naps
and as soon as she wakes up thinks about
when the next time she can go to bed is. Her
freshman year she was very quiet and didn't
say much, but when she did it was always
funny. Now, she talks a lot more and still
has funny comments and remarks. There are
times Courtney will be sitting on the futon
for hours and hasn't moved an inch. Most of
the time, the TV will be turned to the TV
show Friends or the Food Network. You can
always count on Courtney to eat a late night
snack with you or make a run to Papa John's
or Coldstone. Everyone is glad Courtney is
on our team and it wouldn't be the same
without her.
