Middle School Soccer

Tonight was the first round of the middle school tournament and also the last night of the season.  The girls knew heading into the game that it would be a tough one as they drew Northridge.  Meg played well as center mid the first half of the game.  The ball didn't cross the half field line much so she never really got a chance to take a shot on goal.  She played defense well and contained her girl.  I have been impressed with her skills.  She has really improved in the last year.

The second half was not her favorite.  She had to play goalie and hadn't practiced that position in a long time.  It was tough as her teammates do not understand yet that they need to mark their players.  Thus, there were a lot of open shots on goal.  She made several great stops, but by the end of the game she was brokenhearted.  Luckily, the boys played second, so once she got something to eat and watched their game she was in a lot better mood.
