Time to go home and visit my best friends, the ones I made playing soccer in the greatest city in the world. I apologize in advance to any regional girls teams that make it to the Final 4 this year (Catholic and ?) since I can only be in one place at a time.

For those of you who have been considering a game, now’s the time to make your decision. I don’t think tickets will be available after this weekend.
