Saturday was the start of league play for Sodium who met a tough FC Platinum on their home turf at Liberty H.S. Play was a little sluggish as the girls dusted off from the few weeks off. Once Sodium got it together they scored to take the lead late in the first half. Scoring to start the season off was Taylor Coon. The second half opened with 2 quick scores by FC to put the lady warriors behind. As seasoned veterans will always do, they played their game, kept their poise and Bailey Hall drilled one in to tie the score. A defensive battle ensued ending the game in a tie.
Sunday's game was a different story all together.
Sodium came out of the blocks strong against Cascade FC Dynamo. In the sweltering heat of the day Sodium showed no signs of fatigue. Emmy Owens blasted her first goal just as play was under way, setting the tempo for the rest of the game. Offense was definitely the name of the game Sunday with Emmy getting her second, Payton Sonnen crushing a long ball from the right side coffin corner and Marisa Reid adding the fourth. Both Hannah Hartford and Kristin Boone played exceptional in goal allowing only one all day. And in the true meaning of the word "TEAM", recognition needs to be given to Dayna Carlson who assisted EVERY goal in Sunday's game. Sodium showed they came to play with crisp passing, great communication and constant pressure on the opponents goal. They truly brought their "A" game to the field Sunday. Hats off to coach Ronnie and the girls for an outstanding performance.
Up Next: Road trip! Sodium heads to North Eugene H.S. to take on EMFC '95 Magic and then to Eagle Crest to face a tough OR Rush '95G Nike.
GO SODIUM!
