The lady warriors added their 4th shut out in the State Cup Preliminary Round by defeating WUSC 95 Girls 2-0 at Wilsonville HS this evening. The first half started a little slow but Sodium regained composure and fired in 2 goals in the second. Hannah Lautenbach scored on a long right side break-a-way and Jadyn Mcmillan punched in a Payten Sonnen rebound off the far post. Kristin Boone did an OUTSTANDING job in goal as the the WUSC team took more shots than any we have faced all season! Simply put, they played great all the way around. Thanks to Tom who did a great job getting the ladies fired up for this final game.
Up next; State Cup Quarter Final Round! April 12, 13, 19 & 20 (Bracket breakdown to follow)
GO SODIUM!

Sodium's Indoor Season Off to a Slow Start
Ha Ha Ha!! Just kidding! The 8 girls that showed for the game this afternoon pounded the Wy'East team 13-0! I can't even begin to count how many goals Kristin Boone had or describe the all-star keeper play by Emmy Owens and Katherine Kramer. The lady warriors were bigger, faster, stronger and just outplayed Wy'East from net to net. At some points it looked more like a hockey game as Sodium slammed these poor girls into the boards. We knew it was going to be fun when Platinum walked in, saw it was 8-0, and thought the game was almost over. Actually, it was just half-time.

Sodium tops their bracket
The Sodium team put in an outstanding effort Saturday against a former Premier Gold Division, WSM Strikers. The entire game was a hard fought battle and with just seconds to go in the game Bailey Hall rocked the goalie and Hannah Hartford was there to rip the deflection into the back of the net. A true team victory as the girls rest on top of the U12G-4 bracket.
Next up: Night Cap - 7:00pm, 11/27/07, Wilsonville H.S. vs second place WUSC 95 Girls. They finished last in the Silver Division during the regular season but have proven themselves a worthy opponent in the State Cup.

Yes, we're BACK!
BACK IN BLACK! The Sodium girls proved today, beyond a shadow of doubt, that they are BACK! With a 6-0 dominating victory over Premier Gold opponent EMFC '95 Magic, Sodium swept the weekend scoring 9 unanswered goals!
The Magic game started out with Hannah Lautenbach getting her first goal in the fist 3 minutes! Her second score came about 10 minutes later as she stung the back of the net yet again. Just before the half is when the fun really began! Hannah Hartford scored a header goal off a Bailey Hall Direct free kick. The place went nuts! Just after the half Payten Sonnen showed why her nickname is 'Wheels'! After taking the initial pass from Jaydn McMillan, She blew past 2 defenders down the right side and blasted the shot past the goalie. But wait, there's more! Kristen Boone had a header assist to Emmy Owens and, after a break-a-way that involved a pile up with the goalie, a defender and Emmy, Marisa Reid found the back of the net for the 6th (that's right 6th!) and final goal.
Sodium is really coming together, they are playing so well right now and it couldn't happen at a better time. We are proud of you girls, you had us a little worried earlier but all of that is gone as you have shown us you are champions. You are peaking at the right time, hitting on all cylinders. It is really a joy to watch you girls on the field as you are showing the confidence we always knew you had. The next two games shouldn't be taken for granted, these are worthy opponents who will require us to play just as sharp and fierce as the first two. If we can do that, we will have no problem advancing. Great weekend ladies! And to Coach Ronnie, thanks for showing these young ladies how to 'turn it up a notch' in November. They couldn't have gotten this far, or grown and developed this much, without you.
Next up; 11/17/07 @ 9:00AM, WSM Strikers at REC #1.

Sodium Arrives At State Cup on FIRE!
Talk about coming out of the gate HOT! The ladies warriors scored more goals in the opening game of the State Cup than they did in the month of October! Sodium came out strong hammering the Aloha Xtreme goalie with shot after shot in the 3-0 victory. The first goal came off a Hannah Hartford header that deflected off the cross bar with Emmy Owens there to punch it into the back of the net. With minutes left in the first half Sodium was awarded a Direct free kick for a mugging that occurred about 15 yards outside the box. Laura Camp lined up the shot with forwards and mids looking to crash the net when BANG! Laura sticks it in just inside the far post! The crowed erupted as Sodium was really showing its stuff. The second half started as the first had ended. Hats off to the Xtreme goalie, she blocked so many tough shots this morning it was amazing. The third and final goal came with about 5 minutes left in regulation. As was the story all game Sodium had Xtreme on their heels and was swarming the net when a Erika Cook's shot deflected off the goalie and again, Emmy Owens was there to seal the deal!
WOW, what can you say about a performance like that. Sodium played today with purpose, patience, and a tenacity we haven't seen in a while. Great job to coach Ronnie and the team. You can really see that the hard work these girls have put in is starting to pay off. In a word; AWESOME!
Next up; Our foes from the Premier Gold Division, EMFC '95 Magic. The game is Sunday on REC #1 at 1:30pm. Sodium was 1-0-1 against Magic in the regular season and this will be our toughest competition in our bracket.
GO SODIUM!

The 2007 State Cup Schedule
Thanks to Kristina Cook for her watchful eye on the schedule (and proofreading the blog!) and letting us know it was posted. Thanks!

REC #5 - 10:30AM start
11/11/07

vs WSM Strikers
REC #1 - 9:00AM start
12/01/07
vs WUSC '95 Girls
West Linn HS Stadium - 1:00PM start
Here it is, ours for the taking. We have a relatively easy bracket girls but that's no reason to let up. We had a great set of practices last week so keep it up this week and build momentum into the first two games this weekend. None of these teams are pushovers so we will have to play hard and stay focused all game. The time is now to "Let it all hang out" these coming weeks. This is what you have worked so hard to get to, so hard to achieve, and now we are here. The time is now to start letting people know we are here to play and why we are feared. The time is now to start unleashing the 'BACK IN BLACK' attitude we had at the United Cup.
The time is now.

From one Extreme to Another
OK, so I goofed in the last post. I was a little excited. And yes, there is a BIG difference between LOSC Extreme and Aloha Extreme. (Only 1 Division is all). Here is the REAL bracket by seed.
#1 - Sodium
We all know about these rock stars! BACK IN BLACK!
#2 - EMFC 95 Magic
Finished 6th in the Premier Gold Division with a record of 4-6-4. Sodium beat them 1-0 early in the season and tied 0-0 late in the season.
#3 - WSM Strikers
Finished 5th in the Premier Silver Division with a record of 4-8-2.
#4 - WUSC 95 Girls
Finished last (8th) in the Premier Silver Division with a record of 2-10-2.
#5 - Aloha Extreme
Finished 4th in Division 2 with a 6-5-3 record.
Notes
My only fear is that Sodium plays to the level of its competition. If we can play our game and stay focused on the end goal, we should sweep the bracket! These are all very beatable teams if we show up with our "A" game. Best of luck ladies, we will be there backing you all the way!
GO SODIUM!

State Cup Brackets Are In!
The following is a breakdown of Sodium's opponents for the 2007 State Cup. They are placed by seed.
#1 - Sodium
We all know about these rock stars!
#2 - EMFC 95 Magic
Finished 6th in the Premier Gold Division with a record of 4-6-4. Sodium beat them 1-0 early in the season and tied 0-0 late in the season.
#3 - WSM Strikers
Finished 5th in the Premier Silver Division with a record of 4-8-2.
#4 - WUSC 95 Girls
Finished last (8th) in the Premier Silver Division with a record of 2-10-2.
#5 - LOSC Extreme
Our good friends from the 2006 season. Finished 1st in the Premier Silver Division with a 12-0-2 record.
Notes
Sodium will play EMFC 95 Magic and WSM Strikers at home (Tualatin Hills) and will play WUSC 95 Girls and LOSC Extreme away. It is extremely (pardon the pun) important for Sodium to get out of the gate HOT. We have 3 games against very beatable teams. The Extreme game, in my opinion, will be the tell tale game to determine the Quarterfinal Round Seedings. There is no doubt we will see Extreme at least 2 times in the State Cup so our need to come out hot, focused, fired up and on top of our game is essential. Bring your "A" game ladies and you can't be beat!
