Today Sodium fought one of the Gold Bracket's toughest teams, Oregon Rush '95 Nike. Despite some unsportsmanlike play and some field conditions that were less than favorable, Sodium never gave up. Within the first 5 minutes Rush posted it's one and only goal on a break-a-way (which all of us on the sidelines concluded was off-sides). They rest of the day the lady warriors sent shot after shot high, wide, over and off the cross bar. Never able to get to the back of the net despite out-shooting Rush by a dozen or more shots. Outstanding was the effort and everyone gave 110% for the entire game. Erika Cook earned the game ball for her hustle and physical play at forward but it could have went to anyone on the team. We are looking forward to the rematch on October 13th when Rush comes to our house and gets a taste of a little Sodium style futbol! They are a beatable team if we can get out of the blocks early and attack their goal.
Battered, exhausted and bruised the girls headed back to Portland after the game. I'm sure there was some serious snoozing going on in the back of the car on this drive!
We are proud of you girls for pushing yourselves, giving everything you had and never giving up. The sign of a true championship team.
