Another...wait for it...tie!

We played on a very crisp cool day last Saturday at a new field up in Rockville against the Psychedelic Furs. It was a frustrating game as we had a ton of shots on goal that we could not covert to points. Our defense held a strong line against two good forwards and Monica saved the day with several diving catches including one at the end of the game that deserves to go down in the history books as a major feat of agility.

Next up the Killer Tomatoes back at Rosemary Hills. Our second to the last game against the team we have yet to beat this year. It was great to have so many folks out at the last game and it really makes us so much more competitive. So lets keep it up with great attendance against the Tomatoes.

We missed our new teammate, Monica, who is out for a bit with a tear to her hamstring. We hope to have her back before the end of the season.

A Draw

We had a draw on Saturday against the First Ladies up at Rosemary Hills. It was a 0-0 duel of the sweepers as Ali put it. It was rough going so early in the morning but we had a great turn out and played hard. Our forwards had some great shots and we easily out shot them but could not covert them into goals. Wish I had something more exciting to say about the game...not our best and not our worst showing. We have another opportunity to beat them in our final game of the season.

17 folks turned up at Parkway Deli for breakfast afterwards. I have never seen my kids devour that many pancakes.

Next week we are up against the Furs in Rockville at a new field.

A Little Motivation

In case anyone is looking for motivation for Saturday's 8:45am game against the First Ladies just go check out the Over-30 Division Standings. We are in 4th place with 3 wins and 3 losses. This is the same record as the Smash but we had one additional goal scored against us so we trail them. It is also just 4 goals behind the Femmes who tied the Tomatoes.

We have an good opportunity to win against the Ladies so come out, lace up and kick the ball!

Rough Loss

We suffered a rough 3-1 loss on Saturday against the Femmes. We had NO subs for the game and actually started short one player. We all cheered when Monica showed up late and took her place in the front line.



The goals were good ones from the Femmes. On defense we often forget that Anika can score from much further away then most other players. Monica scored for us which was a real boost of moral but we could not convert any of our other shots on goal.



We got pushed down to 4th place in the standings after this loss but it is a very tight race with just 1 win and 1 point separating us from 2nd place. We can easily regain our spot and even have a chance at first if we can beat the Killer Fruit in our second to the last game.

Next week we play the First Ladies, our first game against them this season, at 8:30am at Rosemary Hills. Make sure to work up an appetite so we can head over to Parkway Deli afterwards.

Shout out to Jenn who was injured but came to the game and took the photos posted above. Hopefully she will be back for the next game.
