weekend in soccer

Well, several games over the 'weekend'.

On Thursday, w Varsity tied and we lost to a team we should have beaten 1-0. It was a lucky goal, and we just didn't play up to our potential. Then again, we really didn't come close to scoring, so.....

On Friday we did the double - both varsity and J-V won. We had a crazy long trip up to the north and west of Chicago, and played on a nice field. It was a real nice day.... unitl the weather started to come in. Varsity had clobbered them. It was 5-0, and it coulda been a lot more than that. Ditto J-V. We scored twice in the first half, and that was cut short by the weather. The second half was only 3m until the thunder started, and the ref's called the game. We won 2-0, and finished the regular season 4-2-1 (we need more games next year).

Good thing about this game is the people who scored. The girl I preached agression to - L MF - scored her second goal of the year, and d MF got her first. D MF's goal was special. She is not just short - she is very very short. She has some skills. And the fact that she's so close to the ground makes it difficult for other teams to get to the ball. But the ball was bouncing about, she was rite there, put the boot into it, and ran back celebrating.


And Saturday Nite. Went to Fire game. sat @ midfield - my Section 8 credentials grow colder every day. 2-1.
