In the 86 degree heat (+ 100% humidity) the lady warriors fell to the Utah Sparta 96 Premier club 3-1. As with previous Regional games this one proved to be just as physical as the rest. I'm sure there a couple Sparta forwards who feel they got run over by a MAC truck right about now. Kristin Boone was kept busy all day as Utah found ways to attack the goal. The intense heat and the extremely physical games going back to back to back proved to be just too much for the Sodium girls. They gave everything they had left in the tank tonight but fell a little short. Tom & Ronnie made a few line-up changes to shake things up putting Dayna Carlson and Taylor Coon at forward with Emmy Owens. This combination produced a goal by Dayna but it was just a little too late in the contest. Hats off ladies for coming to Regionals and showing that Oregon can compete with the best of them.
The team had a nice picnic at one of the local beaches where they presented Coach Ronnie with a scrapbook they had put together. There wasn't a dry eye on the beach.
Next up:
Rest, play in the ocean for those who remained in Hawaii, and time to start thinking about the United Cup for those continuing the Sodium tradition next year.
