PQT starts off with a Shut Out!

In a word, the girls played AWESOME! A 4-0 shut out of Thelo Aftershock was a great way to start the weekend. Every girl played great. Crisp passing, communication, patience with the ball and we were finishing very well! First out of the gate was Marissa Reid, and the girls never looked back. Laura Camp scored next on a rare PK. The officials were very active today, calling every bump & bang. They girls adjusted quickly and kept the pressure on.
As the second half got underway, Sodium scored quickly on a Taylor Coon breakaway which was followed at the midway point by Emmy Owens finding the back of the net.

The girls are on a roll. Spirits are high, confidence is higher and the girls are bringing their "A" game! Coach Ronnie is doing a great job keeping emotions in check and heads on an even keel, not letting the girls get to excited. I know of one player who had her jersey on before noon today (2:40 game time) and I am sure she wasn't the only one. On a serious note, Hannah Lautenbach left the game with an arm/wrist injury. She returned to the bench to hugs from her teammates and applause from the fans to start the second half. Lets keep her in our thoughts for a speedy recovery. She is an important part of the Sodium team.

Next up: a red eye 8:00AM game against BSC Silverbacks.

GO SODIUM!
