Jessica and Ellie battle for the ball against two Rangers players in our third game of the tournament.
Game vs. Northwest Nationals
Results: Loss 4-2
Scorers: Rainey (assisted by Abby) and Abby (free kick)
Quick Summary: We came out strong in the beginning and left the half at a 1-1 tie. In the second half, however, we broke down due to lack of communication and no movement off the ball which resulted in the loss.
Game vs. Mukiteo Lightening
Results: Loss 5-2
Scorers: Ellie (assisted by Rainey) and Bre (assisted by Abby)
Quick Summary: We let the other team score two quick goals in the beginning of the game and were not able to recover. Although we lost I felt the girls played very well together and put up a good fight!
Game vs. Watcom Rangers
Results: Loss 3-1
Scorers: Abby (penalty kick)
Quick Summary: I though the Rangers were the best team that we saw in the tournament and we matched up with them well. The girl's were strong for the full 60 minutes and never let up!
Overall Summary
We were placed in the highest division in the tournament and although we were unable to pull of a win I thought the girls played very well! If we can play with a little more intensity and with this much focus we should do very well in LPTs!
