It WAS a fun game! Last year's graduated seniors were back assisting the coach, visits with the soccer parents and NOT shivering
, meeting the parents of the new team members, a few "altercations"
during the game (they played the team they beat with PK's yesterday and they weren't "thrilled" with not scoring any goals today
), our injured players cheerleading from the bench
, more aggressive plays from the juniors on the team, beautiful weather and some promising plays from the freshmen. They have not been "happy campers" being on the loosing end of the games and showed great teamwork today. It's not going to be easy until we get all of our starters back but they fought for this victory today and all felt encouraged.
Redstorm was upset with herself yesterday only scoring 2 of the 10 goals and was determined to do better today. Happy for her for scoring all 3 goals today and making the All Tournament Team
...she felt MUCH better this evening.
Her 2nd goal was awesome; she received a pass from a teammate, had it stolen from her, chased the player down, stole it back, turned her body around and took the shot for the corner! I had the whole sequence on photos and in EVERY ONE she was blocked from view by the opposing player!
But...thank goodness, DH was doing the video and got the whole thing! That play is going on her video for college coaches!
