1st post of the New Year! Woop Woop! Of course it's about soccer. This year the AIA restructured the high school teams/divisions/etc....By luck of the draw....O'Connor (5A) drew the hardest schedule. We play all 3 of the best teams 2x. So out of our 12 regular season games 6 of them we will most likely lose...although in sports you just never know what can happen.
Our 1st game against Pinnacle got rained out 15 minutes into the game (they were winning 1-0). So on Saturday we played a makeup game. The night before the game I had a dream that we were going to win 2-1. The odds were definitely not in favor of that outcome. It was a true David and Goliath match up. We got a glimmer of hope when we realized Goliath's top scorer wouldn't be at the game....and in the 1st half we really outplayed them. At half time, believe it or not, the score was 2-1 us. Sammi scored the 1st goal of the game, Pinnacle tied it up and then Anna scored a beautiful goal to put us on top. Was this really happening???
The 2nd half of the game, unfortunately was a different story. We didn't get the ball down on their end a whole lot and they ended up winning 4-2. (it should have been 3-2 b/c one of their goals was waaaaaaayyyyyyy offsides!) The girls played a great game and made the other team work hard for the win. That's all you can really ask....that they go out there and play their best. And they did! Tonight is a match up against Goliath #2, Xavier! They beat Pinnacle 2-0 and poor St. Mary's lost to them 25-0. Let's hope it's not like that tonight. Anna now has 10 goals on the season.
