The Drive -- Sectionals 11'

I feel like there are always complications driving to tournaments. So remember in a previous post I discussed seeing two accidents, similar situation h happened when driving to my sectionals tournament in Middlebury, VT this past weekednd. Due to sorority events and a member of my team who had to work on Friday night, 5 of us ended up leaving for our sectionals tournament at 9:00PM. Two of our fellow players from our mens team came along for the journey too. Six and half hours into our trip (3:30AM), my teammate that was driving noticed the "check battery light" turned on. She proceeded to drive until we reached a 24 hour gas station (we were on route 2 headed to Vermont and there are limited gas stations) to take a bathroom break. About a mile after leaving the gas station, our headlights turned off. Knowing this probably isn't a good sign, we turned around and headed back to the station. This must have been a good idea because when we got there our car completely died due to a bad alternator. Luckily we were in University Vehicles, Motor Pool, so they had to help us with this issue. After spending over an our on the phone contacting teammates and people at Motor Pool, we finally got our car towed to VT and had one of our teammates come got us from Middlebury. Considering we were an hour away, my teammates did not get to us until 6:00 so we did not arrive to our destination until 7:00AM.
