Footie: Game Three
Jun. 4th, 2014 12:26 amAnother soccer evening, with it threatening rain and then turning out pretty nicely if a tad cool.
The girls played really well again. We got two new volunteers in goal, both of whom did fantastically in spite of the fact that one nearly bottled it just as the game was starting. (That was one of our smallest players and our most sensitive--she started crying the first day when they were taking turns kicking on goal.) And we won our third in a row! The score was 0 - 2 this time, and yet again the scoring was spread around. And Ros is showing a good amount of grit and good defensive awareness.
Every week is showing what a deep team we have. Tonight there was one line up that I thought had the potential to get killed since none of our four strongest players was on it, but they totally held their own.
