...we LOST! What a tough game. We played SO WELL and these girls have much to be proud of!! They got 2nd place trophies... the same as in the Spring. It was so stressful though! Madison walked off the field a little upset but was really just disappointed... not mad. She was happy with her play and her teammate's too. So that's good... She was able to feel good about her runner-up trophy. May be next year...(sigh).
A brief re-cap... Chesterton scored within the first 10 minutes. We were down 0-1 for quite a while. There was a penalty on them and Madison took a direct kick (basically they sit the ball down and she gets to start the play again by kicking it). She was way outside... 30 yards from the goal, she ran and kicked it and this ball sailed for like... forever... right over the goalie's head and into the far corner of the box! The girls went wild, as did the fans. It was so fun!! Her second goal this season... and both occurred while playing defense! That really energized the team. That made it 1-1 and it stayed that way through 2 over-times. It finally went to the shoot-out. 5 players from each team get to kick against the goalie... the team with the most points at the end wins. They got one more point than we did and we lost 2-3. Our goalie, Kiley, played great though...she really did... it's just a super tough spot to be in! The girls were exhausted from running so much and long but they played awesomely!!! (is that a word?)
So, this weekend ended our soccer days for awhile. We weren't even off the fields and Madison was asking me if there is an indoor team she can play on for the winter... we'll see. : )
