Daytona Beach Shootout: Day Two

Athletics - posted on 12/19/2011

On day two of its winter break trip, the Lakeland College women's basketball team held its second practice in Daytona Beach, Fla., as they prepare to play in the Daytona Beach Shootout.

The Muskies practiced at Father Lopez Catholic High School in Daytona, Fla. While the facilities are similar to Lakeland's, the time constraints make having a full practice difficult.

"I'm proud of the girl's effort and focus so far this week," said Lakeland head coach Lindsey Vande Hoef. "I can see the girls are enjoying the trip, but I know they want to win these games as well. They've done a great job adjusting to the shorter practices and getting their work in when its time."

The team also had a team dinner at the Starlite Diner in Daytona Beach, Fla. It allowed the team some time to hang out together and bond.

"I like to do things as one," said Vande Hoef. "The team has had a lot of free time, but I wanted us to be able to come together and spend some quality time as a team outside the gym."

The Muskies will play their first game on Tuesday, Dec. 20, against Hamline University at 4 p.m. EST.
