    The Venice Indians were on the road today and played against the Braden River Pirates. This game was an aggressive game since Braden River just recently lost to North Port and they knew Venice was in the lead. Our girls quickly learned they needed to step up their game and show the Pirates why Venice was in first place. Throughout the first half, it seemed pretty evenly played but Venice appeared to dominate the ball. Venice had a few shots on goal but they just couldn't manage to get one in the net. Moving in to the second half, our team changed up their formation and quickly scored a goal to take the lead 1-0. Braden River fought hard and saved many of our attempted shots. Although late in the second half, on a corner kick, Samantha helped her team out by knocking in a soft goal to move the 2-0. This was her first goal as a Varsity player and one she was shocked even occurred. Sa said that she wasn't prepared for the goal, but nonetheless she'll take it. Braden River attempted to come back, but they couldn't get a shot past the Venice goalie.
