    After spending the morning at Jayden's soccer game, we headed west to Jackson for Samantha's soccer game in the afternoon. After making the long drive, it would have been nice to come away with a victory, but the girls really didn't seem to be too into this particular contest. Their usual coach wasn't here today, and the Rush scored a girl early on what appeared to be a blatant offside that wasn't called (to make matters worse, the associate referee on that sideline was a player from another Rush team - she wasn't going to make any calls like that). The coach yelled and the referee long enough to earn a yellow card. That gave the girls a brief moment of inspiration, as they managed to score to tie the game up. That was about it for them, though, as the Rush team scored once again, leaving the score 2-1 at halftime. The Impact girls never really put up a serious threat in the second half, and the only goal was scored by the Rush. The game ended with the score 3-1, with the Impact on the short end for the third time this season.
