National Games Tournament Day 1
A GREAT BEGINNING!!
Match 1: SM vs Somers, NY (SM 4 : Somers, NY 0)
Well played game on both sides. s had a lot of fun. SAMO goals coming from Marie (2), Ruby, and Jessica. Jessica had a collision with the Somers keeper and had to be replaced in the 2 quarter. Xrays at the ER show only a deep bruise under the shin guard. We'll miss her in Match 2, but are hopeful for Match 3 on Friday.
Match 2: SM vs Peterson Park, IL (Chicago) (SM 1 : Chicago 1)
What a game!! Chicago went up pretty early in the match, but our SAMO defense held them off for the remainder of the first half. The second half belonged almost exclusively to SAMO with multiple chances (including multiple times hitting the posts). The lone SAMO goal came from a Suzanne throw-in into the goal area with a deflection off a Chicago player. All credit to Zani! Missing due to injury was Jessica. This was probably the most exciting AYSO game we've witnessed. Hard fought from start to finish (and this was the 2nd game of the day in high heat and humidity). SAMO captured the 2nd half with beautiful teamwork. It was lovely to watch.
All in all, a great beginning. 10 points in Match 1; 4 points in Match 2.
Looking forward to Matches 3 and 4 on Friday (Arizona and Hawaii, respectively).
Luau last night. Lots of fun.
