4. It was a great game to watch and

both teams played very hard. I heard one report that they feel they could have sold another 10,000 tickets at least if they could have gotten a bigger venue. Apparently this one was about 18,000 max. The amazing thing about all of this is how much the supposed controversy/negative reporting about the W early in the season is now a "feel good' story for the ages. I think it owes a great deal to a 22 year old from West Des Moines not taking the media bait, keeping her head up and focusing on playing ball. I think the media people who were pushing "angles" realized they were not going to get Caitlin to say and do things to further some "us versus them" back and forth for the media to feed on. They sure tried hard though.
