Our first team win

Last week was a hard week to take. I was mad and upset. I thought we were a better team than the Clash was yet we could not win a single game yet. There were missed opportunities and we could not beat them. I was so mad, I couldn't blog about it. and I spent the most of the week trying to figure out what we can do to make my team better.

So I decided that I needed to lead this team. This was the way it was going to go. i was going to rejoin the team on the field and take it to the other team. I was going to push my skills and LEAD this team.

But as it turned out, I didn't need to lead the team on the field, but lead the team while in goal. but first the game details. Everyone stepped up and improved their game. Jen came in and played a great defense. She didn't let anyone get to the ball. Sandra and Norma also stepped up big. They took up being a defender, and played a great game. Adrian, Steve, and Ed all stepped up too on Defense. They switched around abit, but they had great step ups on the D. Adrian had some good moves amd moved the ball around great. Brandon and Candice has given this team a huge talent boost. They are able to pass and shoot and set and example for others on the team. I think the team gets inspired and want to do the same.

Steve, Sandy and Brandon all scored for us. steve finally got that elusive goal to tie Sandy in the number of career goals. But Sandy stepped up and scored her 2nd goal of her career. Brandon tipped in a hard work goal to finish it off.
I didn't think it was a big moment, but I brushed it off ready to go to the next one. Apparently there was a huge shot and i quickly got my hand up and knocked it away. The bench and crowd were cheering the great save. Some thought it was going in, but I took a huge save.

I was extremely proud of this teams effort. And I think building on this win will boost this morale. I know I was relieved to have the big "monkey" off my back with our first win. And now its on to anothter team that we can take it too and beat.
