Jenna's soccer team has gone undefeated in the playoffs. They have been playing so well that it is really fun to watch them compete. We are down to the championship round where the last two teams compete for 1st or 2nd place. The game was supposed to take place over the break, but due to rain, it was postponed until this week. The field the girls play on is saturated on a regular basis, but the rain makes it down right unplayable. The rain is good for some plant life as you can see here in this photo.
The teams lined up on Monday night prior to the game for a special photo opportunity. The girls were so excited and confident.
Unfortunately, a week off did not do our girls any good, nor did their over-confidence. Jenna's team is undefeated which would give them another chance if they lost this game since they can not be eliminated until they have two losses. Our opponents had already had one loss, and they played like girls who knew they needed to play hard or go home. They wanted the game, and it showed in their excellent play. It was a well matched game with some of our players making up for the sluggishness of their teammates, but in the end a squirrley ball got past our goalie resulting in the other team scoring and winning 1-0. We will meet them again on Wednesday night, and that will be the final game. I think our girls are awake now...we'll see. They have really shown what they are capable of, and hopefully they will bring it. Stay tuned...
