One Game Short



Wow, what a week! Our team played in the 1st playoff game Monday and won 4-1 against the Mustangs. Taylor scored once and the team played very well. We were so excited to move to the semi-finals. On Tuesday night, we matched up against the Pink Diamonds and won 4-0. 2 more goals were scored by Taylor and the team was jumping at the chance to play in the Championship game. We soon found out we would be matched against the Bandits, a team we had beaten in the regular season 2-0, but a team that had very few goals scored against them.

Tonight was the night! So many family and friends came out to support our girls. The sidelines were roaring, the wind was blowing and our girls were fired up. We scored first, giving us the lead going into the half. Coach Charlie pumped them up at half and told them to give it all they had in the remainig 24 minutes. We were just hoping to hold them from scoring and the game would be ours. Unfortunately, the Bandits wanted it bad and it showed. We gave up 2 goals in the 3rd quarter and despite many desperate attempts by our Angels, we were unable to get another goal. Final score, 2-1 Bandits. We finished one game short of the championship, but quickly came together to support the team. A TVSA representative presented Coach Charlie with our trophies.
Charlie thanked all of the girls for their effort and told them they had so much to be proud of.

We gave each girl a glass of sparkling cider for a little toast.

Cheers to a wonderful season!

Thank you to all of our friends for coming out on a very chilly night to support us.

Taylor, we couldn't be prouder!!! Show us what you've got in Commissioner's Cup and All-Stars! We can't wait!
