So I had no response to my request for a writer to summarize our first game. The quick and dirty is all folks get...we lost to Smash in our season opener.
BUT the big news is we won our first game this past Saturday against the Violent Femmes. It was a 3-1 win in the late summer heat at the Rosemary Hills dust bowl. We played a fast paced and very offensive game driven by the energy of several new players and the strong improvements from team veterans who have worked hard in the off season at practices and indoor. I have to admit I was so surprised by our first goal that I let my guard down on defense and the Femmes quickly scored an answering goal. We had to remind ourselves on defense to stay strong and focused after our next two goals. These three goals match the total number of goals scored by our team in our first two seasons.
It was also a long weekend of soccer for the indoor Sister's team. We had a double header out in Fairfax. We won 11-5 in our first game but an hour later lost 6-3. It was rough on everyone having to play 3 games in one weekend. At one point I had no energy left and just had to sit it out sucking down Gatorade.
We are back to the Smash again this coming weekend at Rosemary Hills. This may prove to be our lucky field.
A special shout out to Rebecca who suffered a broken tibia in our Femmes game. She is out for the season. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope to see her back next season.
