Another great soccer weekend
The weather cooperated this weekend for a glorious soccer day on Saturday at the Trinity field. What a difference it makes to play on a well kept field. Boy was it a big expanse to play on.
So we lost to the Tomatoes 4-0 but it was a much better game then the season opener. We played a 2 4 4 1 configuration and it actually worked out quite well with alot more support to the two forwards. Tina and Allie both had scoring opportunities that we could not quite convert into goals. I subbed for Monica in the goal for the last 10 minutes. Brought back alot of memories from my 8 years of playing goalie as a kid. On Sunday my body reminded me why attempts at diving saves should be an exception and not the norm.
Next outdoor is against the Smash down at Lincoln Field. Don't forget that is Race for the Cure day so leave plenty of time to get to the field. Metro is your best bet since the streets will be closed. Hope to get Sheila, Leola and Ann back soon.
Saturday was the season closer for indoor. From Amanda: We won our last game of indoor against the Sakhermoms 13-7. We finished the season 5-3. They played down a person the whole game and in the second half we went 4 v 4. Naela and Jen were big scorers. We are taking a season off but will play again in the fall if any other Sisters want to sign up.
Nice to have two weeks off but look forward to a scrimmage on Memorial Day and then a BBQ bash at my house.

It's getting hot in here
I probably should save the title of this post for later in the season but did anyone notice how warm it was on Saturday? Mid day game, nice wide field, not much shade...it got a bit warm out there.
We lost 2-0 against the Femmes. It was a good, solid game and we all played well. Our offense continued to improve with more scoring opportunities and alot more time with the ball in front of our opponents goal.
Defense had some tough moments with the Furs strong forwards but we were able to keep their top scorers to just a few shots. But we still are not putting together strong combinations that get us points. Plenty more work to do.
A shout out to Kathy for taking a monster hit to the face and then coming back to head the ball later in the game.
We had fun bonding after the game at Colonel Brooks Tavern, a Brookland institution. Beer was a bit pricey but the burgers and fries were good.
Next week we get a chance to really pick up our game against the Killer Tomatoes at Trinity's great outdoor field.

Tough Loss
It was a tough loss for the Twisted Team today. We really gave the First Ladies a run for their money but lost 2-0. Bad weather held off although we did play through some lovely showers early on. We held them scoreless in the first half with some great defense. It was rough shutting down their great forwards.
Our front line excelled with alot of time in front of the Ladies' goal. But shots could not find their way into the net. The Ladies had one really amazing goal but the second one snuck past us.
It was fun playing down by the monuments with tons of tourists strolling by. Too bad the field was so awful.
Great game. Sorry Sheila had to miss it to get married. We wish her a huge congratulations!
Next week we play the Femmes at Turkey Thicket.
