this is of our team signing Oh Canada

this is our team winning our first game

if you open this image you can see me getting the ball in the net in my shoot out.
okay well the day started at six in the morning! My friend sarah stayed overnight so we could drive her to the "kelsey dewer" (the tourny that was today) so we get to the game and we play (I assisted the goal) and win our first game 1-0. At the same time our arch enimies AKA Winfield (hehehe) had also won there game 1-0. At the beginnig of the tourny we both had 8 points on the score board. Then came the second game which we won 1-0 aswell (I played on the entire game! Which gets a little tiring in the heat). Right after our second game Winfield, and the team we beat in our first game played and Winfield won 2-1. So we are tied dead even on the score board, and we play Winfield next. Which means who ever wins the game takes home the gold. The game starts and Winfield gets a goal right away. Then comes half time and the score is still 1-0 for Winfield. Second half comes and we are doing great but we cant find the net. Then he puts "the speeders" up on forward (which is Me, Nicole, And Jessica- Jess and I are defense usually)then our defense kicks it up the wing (were I am) and I go chasing after it. I brake away from there defenders, and cross the ball over to Nicole, well tried to; their goalie steps up and tries to catch it but it just slides through her hands and is roiling on the line, Nicole runs up to get it in, but their team tried to get it out, and somehow out of all the confusion the ball went in! We asked the reff how much time was left on the clock and he said 30 seconds! We scored with only 1 minute left in the game! The goal was counted as my goal because I was the last member of our team to touch the ball. Now we go into double OT (over time) and non of us got a goal. After OT in soccer you go to a shoot out. So my coach picked 5 girls that were on the field for the last OT, he chose (in order of shots taken) 1. Lana 2.Ashley 3.Bethany 4. ME 5. Nevada. We got to kick second. I went up to shoot and their team had 3 goals already and our team had 1 goal. So If I missed the shot we would lose! (yah, I know, no pressure at all) so I take the shot and it goes in the top right corner! So we were still in it, the Nevada shot and got it in so we had tied the shoot out. Then it went to 1 of their players shoots then one of ours and you keep going until someone misses. And WE WON!!!!! Our team (me and Nicole had a deal that if we won the game we would sing the Canadian anthem) lines up on the on the line and starts singing Oh Canada! It was a blast!! Now I don't play again until September. So tata for now!
