Game 9

Today marked the end of Samantha's time with the Michigan Impact soccer club. This was bittersweet for her, as she finally found a team that she really liked after spending the past few years on an afterthought team at her old club. Thankfully the entire team was determined to go out as winners in their final full season of soccer together (most of the girls move to high school in the fall, meaning a split year between their school and travel teams). The Impact girls jumped on top early and never looked back, setting a season high for goals in a single game with 5, all while playing stellar defense and getting some quality goalkeeping that resulted in zero goals against.
