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.
