A former Tiffin University Women's basketball player has a child in the hospital. The baby is only a few weeks old and has not been able to come home due to an illness. She  also has three other kids. In order to let her know we are thinking about her and her family, we took a picture to send to her, and sent teddy bears, little basketballs and TU baby shirts to all of the kids. When holidays come around, it is always difficult when families are struggling. As a team, we want to share our happiness with as many people as we can.

On Saturday we had our first real competition. This year was a little different. Instead of first playing in scrimmages, we played in our exhibition game first. We played against Bowling Green, a Division one team. This team was very good, and a great challenge for us as a team. We did not win the game but it was a successful game in that everyone learned about what they needed to do to get better. My duties at the game were fairly simple, yet important. I am in charge of the shot chart. What the shot chart is, is keeping track of every shot that we take and if it is a miss or make. This helps the coaching staff with game breakdown. I also have taken on the task of helping out our new ball girl, Lexi. She does not yet know what she is doing so I help her with all her duties. This game is getting me very ready for the season.
