Some classmates of mine from the SDM program suggested earlier this year that we should all play soccer this summer. So when summer came around, I took the liberty of organizing a soccer match against our sister program, LFM. After weeks of deferment due to conflicting schedule and rainy weather, we finally played last Friday.

We put up a good fight, especially with Nick's and Ankur's drive to their defense line. But we fell short in scoring a goal. The LFM team not only had good defenders but their mid-fielders and strikers were able to pull back quickly to reinforce their defense, making it hard for us to penetrate their defense. Ultimately, the LFM being younger, faster, and more skillful beat us 7-0. We were all exhausted after two 45-minute rounds of game play. Nonetheless, it was fun and a great way to network with the LFM.

Big thanks to those who showed up in the game. Especially to the LFM/SDM staff who sponsored the field and refreshments. Last but not least, special thanks go out to the LFM who volunteered to help me in cleaning up the field and carrying the coolers and drinks back to my car when my SDM classmates have all but deserted me at the end of the game.
