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!
