FIRST PLAYOFF GAME - Lost to Pheonix 2-0
|
A hard fought and entertaining game against an opponent who had
beaten us 3
times this year. We played hard and it was easily our best game against
them. Unfortunately they scored 2 goals that could have been offside and we
didn't score any. Defensively we played well but unfortunately did not put a
lot of pressure on their keeper. Our defense led by Breanne, Aly and Ruth
was solid. Our mid field play was inspired with Nicki, Kaitlin and Shannon
leading the way. A tie game would have been fairer outcome in this physical
game.

SECOND PLAYOFF GAME - Tied with Blaze 1-1
|
What a game! This was one of our best games of the year. We deserved
to win
this game as we outplayed them for long stretches of play. I could name
every player today as having an outstanding game. Our forwards Lauryn, Emily
and Jenna came to play today and applied lots of pressure on the St. Vital
defense. Serena had another good game. Our midfield played strong and also
outplayed their opponents. Good games were had by Allison G, Jessica and
Rochelle. Mia had her best game yet. The tying goal came late in the game as
Jenna scored from passes from Emily and Kaitlin. This result kept our
playoff hopes alive.

THIRD PLAYOFF GAME - Won against NW Wildcats 3-0
|
Again we played an outstanding game and dominated our opponent. Our
first
goal came on a nice pass from Lauryn to Emily to Maria who scored. Our
second goal was early in the second half with Mia passing to Emily who sent
a rocket shot into the top of the net. Our final goal came from a pretty
play from Jenna to Mia to Jenna and into the net. This was another complete
team effort as we limited NW to very few opportunities. Unfortunately,
Serena was hurt in the second half with us leading 1-0 and Allison G came in
and held the fort and made some nice saves. Steph played one of her best
games as she was tenacious all game. Our defense of Breanne, Ruth, Sam and
Nicki, Aly and Amy played very well.

FOURTH PLAYOFF GAME - Won against Blizzard 5-1
|
This was probably our most dominant game of the year. The score
could have
been higher aa we easily could have scored 10 or more goals today. Emily and
Kaitlin missed 3 each in the first half alone! Allison G was again in goal
as Serena is still injured. She made the saves when called upon and played
with confidence. Three goals by Jenna ( one a header) and two by Lauryn who
also had three assists where more than enough offense. The entire team
played super with tremendous effort and "Intensity" against a team that
we've had trouble with during the year...2 ties and 1 loss but we played big
in this important playoff game. I even saw Shannon do a slide tackle!
We'll have to wait until Saturday to find out if we made it to the final. We
need NW to tie or beat Bonivital and we're in the final. Not impossible but
we need to keep our fingers crossed. We've played very well during these
playoffs and we the coaches and I'm sure your parents are very proud of your
efforts even if we don't make it to the final.
On a sadder note Serena may have torn her ACL in her knee and her doctor has
suggested she not play soccer again if she wants to carry on in her attempt
to make the national water polo team. We will definitely miss her as a
quality person and as a quality and cool player. Hopefully she can make it
out to share a Blizzard with us on Sunday and watch us play in the final on
Oct 3rd.
