For a change I got to attend one of Samantha's indoor
soccer games, this time a Tuesday game against another La Forza squad that is a
year younger than her own team. Even though there is an age gap, I fully
expected Sam and her teammates to lose this game - the team that they were going
against won first place in their division during outdoor play, and Sam's team
came in... well, I am almost certain it was last place.
Needless to say my prediction didn't come true, as Sam
shut out the opposing team during her half of the game in net while her
teammates scored three times to take a 3-0 lead into halftime. After half Sam
came out aggressive on offense, despite feeling under the weather all day. She
even had a really nice 30 foot kick at the goal that just clanged off the right
goal post. That would have been her best goal by far, and one of the best I've
seen at these indoor games. By the time the second half ended, the La Forza Ice
girls had beaten the La Forza Earthquakes by a score of 5-0, giving the Ice
their first victory of the indoor season!
