| Samantha and a mixture of Liverpool FC club mates travelled to 
			Traverse City for the Autumn Classic. Normally I would say 
			teammates, but this wasn't her normal 99/00 team as we were led to 
			believe. The team for this weekends tournament consisted of 5 girls 
			from the '02 LFC team, and several more girls from the 00/01 team 
			than usually play with the 99/00 team. Throwing all these girls 
			together made for a challenging weekend, as the majority of these 
			girls aren't used to playing together in any form. Despite these 
			challenges, the girls were prepared to give it their all in the top 
			Gold level of the tournament. On to the game action... For the 
			first 30 minutes, the girls held their own against the host North 
			Storm team. They managed to keep the game scoreless, heading to 
			halftime at 0-0. Unfortunately the second half didn't go the way of 
			the LFC girls, as they surrendered two goals to fall behind 2-0. 
			Despite their comeback efforts, they weren't able to find the back 
			of the net to narrow the goal, and fell by that 2-0 score when the 
			final whistle blew.  |
