Despite conditions, Sodium plays great!

In the early hours Saturday morning the lady warriors met OSA Inferno at Portland State. Despite the freezing temperature and turf field, Sodium put together an outstanding game in the 2-1 victory. Goals were scored by Emmy Owens and Dayna Carlson. Emmy's came right out of the box on a perfectly executed break a way. The second half started off with bang. A corner kick in the opening seconds by Bailey Hall was pumped into the net by Dayna. The game ball was given to Baily Hall for another solid, team leading performance. Overall a great game was delivered by all!
On Sunday Sodium delivered what could have been their best game of the season thus far. In the cold and pouring rain, the girls met an undefeated CPSC Royal team. The game was fast, extremely physical, and a battle from the opening whistle. Bodies, elbows and hips were flying all game resulting in several penalty kicks (could have easily been double that) and several girls having to leave the field. Sodium attacked the Royal goal all morning with shot after shot sailing over the post, wide or stopped by an extremely talented Royal goalie. Several opportunities were stopped in front of the Royal goal as black jersey's crashed the net. Sodium just couldn't find the back of net despite many opportunities. Bethany Hall was awarded the game ball and applause needs to given to coach Ronnie and all the girls for an exciting, hard fought game where every player gave 110% despite the 1-0 loss. Great job Sodium!
