Game 8

The girls came out sluggish today, and by the time they found some energy and got their feet under them they were already trailing 2-0. Samantha started in goal, and she didn't do her team any favors either. She got her fingertips on the first goal, but not enough to deflect the ball away from the net. The second goal happened as she charged out of the net after the ball, but the opposing player beat her to it... as they collided on the field the ball dribbled into the net for a two goal cushion. From then on out both Sam and her teammates played better, but not good enough to tie the game up. They managed to play the rest of the game even, but the end result was a 2-0 loss, leaving the girls with two wins, three draws, and three losses on the season. Samantha is not playing the next indoor session of soccer, and the girls will be getting a new coach after that, so only time will tell how much further they develop and how things will happen from that point on.
