    Samantha and Impact soccer team traveled to Washington (Township) to take on the National Red team. This game wasn't quite as physical as yesterday's contest, though there were certainly moments of pushiness between the two teams (including an excellent tackle from a National player on an Impact defender). Watching the game today it seemed as though the Impact team wasn't really into being on the field. The weather wasn't exactly nice, as it was cool and windy, so perhaps that played into their lethargy. Either way, they struggled to a 1-0 halftime deficit. They woke up slightly in the second half, enough to tie things up anyway. There wasn't a lot for either team to get excited about, and the game ended in a draw, with each team finding the back of the net once.
