After a rough start to the morning in our personal
household, things seemed to be that way at the field too. Not only did Samantha
forget to bring her yellow jersey (which is of course the one that they would
need to wear today), but so did one of her teammates. Thankfully the teammate's
mom was able to get her jersey, but we were already lady arriving so Sam didn't
have that option today. Fortunately for her she is a goalkeeper, so she told the
coach that she would play in net the entire game. She actually had a pretty good
game in net today for a change, so no complaints from me on that one. After
letting in an early goal (with no defensive help), she stepped up and helped
keep her team in the game. They managed to go in to halftime tied 1-1. La Forza
grabbed the lead in the second half briefly, but once again they left an open
player on the back side of the net and Sam couldn't quite make the save despite
getting her hands on the ball as she dove to her left. Both teams tried their
best, but neither of them were able to score again, ending the game in a 2-2
draw. One last game for the girls to try to win next weekend... go La Forza!
