A Day at The Beach

I was very pleased with your performance today. Once again, you did everything but score. You battled well, passed the ball well (that is when we could get control of the ball on that potato patch of a field), shot well (nice 40 yarder Lily) and we threatened their goal on numerous occasions (by the way, how is that stomach of your's Kristina?). Everyone competed well.

Unfortunately we ran into a goalkeeper that made saves when she needed to and dealt with all of our crosses very well. I felt she was the difference in the game, as she was in our previous 1-0 loss at Claremont. Obviously they took their chance and we missed on ours, that's also a good reason we lost! No complaints from me. However it would have been nice to have played Juan de Fuca this season on a better playing surface, one that suited our passing game such as turf, but such was not our fortune.

We've had very little luck in our last two games, perhaps it will return in our district cup game. I will find out Tuesday afternoon who/when/where we play. What I do know is several Storm (Marissa, Holly, Annabel - am I missing anyone?) will be off on Spring Break holidays, so hopefully we have enough to field a team.

Makes no sense to me why they didn't schedule cup game before Spring Break. After all, today was a meaningless exhibition game. No, that would make too much sense. Far better to play cup games when most everyone is off on holiday. Rant over.

Have a great weekend everyone. Wax your cross-country skis (if you've got 'em)!
