Kayla's team has not lost a game yet! The played an amazing game on Saturday against the state champions from last year. They tied 1-1, went into double over time and then won in a shoot out!!! It was so exciting! They now go on to the championship game in 2 weeks. The best part is since it's double elimination another team has to beat them twice in order to win. Either way Kayla's team has made it further than they did last year and the girls are so excited! Kayla hopes they win so they can go to regionals in Idaho in June.
Anna's team got beat in double overtime last weekend. It's a double elimination tournament so they went down to the loser's bracket and had to play 2 games this weekend to work their way back up. Her team has 3 key players out with injuries so they went into the weekend with only 1 sub. The first game was against another top team in the state. The girls dug deep, played hard and won 4-0! Anna scored 2 goals! Their next game was against a lower team in state, but you can never underestimate any team in a state championship. It was a very physical game and the other team got dirty when they started to lose. They had 3 yellow cards and a red card. Anna's team managed to avoid any more injuries and won 3-0. (Anna scored 1.) There are 3 teams left. Anna's team has to face the team that knocked them into the loser's bracket on Saturday. If they win they move on to the championship. Lose and they take 3rd. We have a long history with this team and they will be out for blood. Fortunately for us, one of their best players got a red card in the last game and will not be able to play in the game on Saturday.
I am so proud of both teams. The girls played so well! Can't wait to see what happens!
