State Cup Weekend #2- San Marcos


We were back for our second weekend of State Cup…this time much closer in San Marcos!  
Allison and Liv shaking hands and meeting their opponents and referees.  

 Coach told Allison she would be playing the whole game in goal.  Love the intensity on her punts!
 We took a nice 2-0 lead early, but went into halftime up 2-1.  SC Athletic tied it up, forcing a 20 minute OT.  Unfortunately, on Allison's punt right before the whistle, her back went out and she couldn't play during the OT period.  I stretched her out while the girls took the field.  Reanna put in two beautiful goals in the first 10 minutes and we won!!
We advanced to this morning's Sweet Sixteen and faced Coronado.  Even after the hot tub, ICY HOT and lots of stretching, Allison still wasn't feeling strong enough to play.  Too much on the line for her to play not feeling 100%.  She sat on the bench to cheer on her team, but they came up short and lost 2-0 to end their season.  The girls have a lot to be proud of and finished the season off strong.  
I know some changes are coming for this group as they enter the U13 season with tryouts tomorrow, but we are excited to see what happens after coach  gives them a well-deserved few weeks off!
