The girls came out fired up against their cross town rivals FC Platinum. You could see it in their eyes that they knew the importance of this game. FC was coming to OUR house this time and a tie just wouldn't do.
From the starting whistle Sodium started the attack. Their passing was crisp, they were aggressively winning the 50/50's and the play never seemed to get passed mid-field.
The rookies handled the scoring with Taylor Coon scoring on a break-a-way in the first half and Erika Cook scoring on a perfectly executed corner kick in the second half. Taylor Crowell was the recipient of the game ball Saturday. Way to go Sodium, great game!
Sunday's game against ESU Arsenal was a battle. As Ronnie has stated all season, since we are the defending State Champions, teams are 'gunning' for us and going to bring their "A" game every time. Case in point, Sunday. Arsenal, a 2 - 2 team, brought their "A" game against us. They played hard, won the 50/50's and consistently beat us to the ball. I won't use the terminology Ronnie used to describe the play but it wasn't pretty.
Notes
Check the standings, FC Platinum BEAT OR Rush 95!!!! The 'sneaker' team is CPSC 95 Royal. They have played consistently all season and now is on top. Next week will be extremely important for Sodium. We play OSA Inferno (who TIED Royal this week) and CPSC Royal. This weekend will be a pivotal point in the points standing. If we can win both games, we should be on top of the league. If we can have a great week of practice, stay focused and bring our "A" game, there is no doubt we can accomplish this.
Next up: OSA Inferno (0-3-2) at PSU - Saturday and CPSC Royal (3-0-2) at Fort Vancouver H.S. - Sunday.
GO SODIUM!
