Coronado Holiday Cup

It was a double duty soccer weekend with Allison playing in Scripps Ranch and Taylor down in Coronado. Although, I hate missing any of the Hawks games, I felt it was important to see as much of Allison this weekend since she is just getting started. Unfortunately that meant missing Taylor's first morning game at Sunset Park, but from the sounds of it, their 3-1 victory over Chula Vista was quite impressive!After Allison's first two games on Saturday, Matt and I met up with some of Taylor's team at the Hotel Del Coronado in between her two games. It was a gorgeous day to walk around and see all of the festive decorations and outdoor ice skating rink.

More girls in on the fun!

We walked the grounds and beautiful beach until we stumbled on the Sandcastle Man and this gorgeous sculpture. He allowed the girls to try to take credit for the masterpiece.

Game # 2 was 4:30 game at Coronado High School against SDSC...a team we have seen before. It was another tough, physical battle, but the girls played great and ended with a 2-0 victory to end the day.

I missed the beginning of Sunday's game since I stayed for Allison's Semifinal, but made it to the Coronado Cays before halftime. When I arrived, we were down 3-1 to a very tough and BIG Encinitas team. I got to see Kenzie put one in to make it 3-2 and saw some of the best soccer I have ever seen these girls play. Although it ended 3-2 and we were sent home, we left with our heads held high. Encinitas played league 2 brackets higher than us and hadn't been scored on all tournament, so that was a victory in itself and a huge confidence boost as we prepare for State Cup.
