DAY 5

Today the team traveled from Rakvere to the beautiful colllege city of Tartu. We toured the magnificent Tartu University that has one nobel prize winner to its name and countless other famous philosophers. The team also  learned about the exchange program with NWU, as well as some more Estonian history.  After a very good meal, the team rested for a half hour and went to the arena. The game against Tartu Rock had a wonderful atmosphere with supporters from Tartur and Nebraska Wesleyan showing up in droves. The first half of the game was a strenous and hard fought battle that saw both teams make large runs with Tartu Rock ahead. The second half was also extemely competitive. Both teams showed tremendous effort, although NWU was able to take command of the half and the game through good execution down the stretch. NWU was able to secure victory in convincing fashion.

The team will now travel to Beaver Farms in the morning at 9:30 a.m. sharp! Hopefully the team will get some good rest tonight for tomorrow is a busy day; tree climbing, paintballing, swimming and sauna activites are all on the agenda. NWU plays again on Friday in Parnu.
