National Games Tournament Day 3
An Unfortunate End for SAMO but a GREAT TOURNAMENT
Match 5: SM vs Ocala, FL (SM 1 : Ocala, FL 3)
Unfortunately, we needed 2 things to happen in order to advance. We needed a 10 point victory and we needed either IL or HI to at least tie their opponents in Match 5. We didn't get either of those. The girls fought hard, but between the high temperatures and high humidity, Florida got the best of us. SAMO goal by Clelia!
Apologies for the very late update, but the internet was not as available as one would think.
All in all, it was a great tournament and loads of fun. The girls met some fine friends and fine soccer players from throughout the country.
Our girls played 7 matches in 3 and 1/2 days. That's a lot of futbol. They did great!!
We finished third in our pool, but only the top two teams advanced to the quarter finals. Those teams were Chicago, IL and Mililani, HI.
Congratulations to Mililani, HI! They won it all! (And they came from our group!).
We hope to post some pictures (and videos) soon.
Thanks to everyone for their support!

Hello Coach Del Piccolo and the Santa Monica Saints,
You are a very good team and the match was exciting.
Thanks for the Santa Monica coaches shirts.
Hopefully we will get to see you again in 2010 at the next AYSO National Games, in Wellington, Florida.
Y'all can come a visit us in hot, humid and sunny Florida next time.
Until we meet again on a soccer pitch somewhere, best of luck to you and the Saints.
