Meeting at my house on Cherry Street sporting the Dickinson Red, we prepared for our second intramural soccer game at 7:45 p.m. It was April 26, a cool Tuesday evening following our swim season. Myself and seven other swimmers made the five-minute walk down to Biddle Field where we would play “Washed Up,†a team of varsity women ex-soccer players.
“Is it too late to forfeit?†a voice behind me asked as we approached the field just as the clocked ticked 7:45. The ex-soccer players were already strapping on their cleats and passing the soccer ball around. Most of us just had tennis shoes, but at least we had a uniform, our Dickinson Red. I wore a swimming shirt, just to make it clear this is not my primary athletic choice.

Two girls on our team, Devon and Sammy, played soccer in high school and were quick to organize us into defenders, mid-fielders, and forwards. I stood on defense, as I did in middle school, hoping to keep the ball from our inexperienced goalie, Austin.
