1st Half

It's finally here! THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON! The game began really well: we had numerous oppurtunities and we took those oppurtunities. Our energy stayed high most of the game, sagging only when they got close to our goal once or twice. After practicing for weeks, the team is well-rounded and seemed ready for this game. And did we prove it? YOU BET! 

The game continued 0 to 0 for all of the first half, but it was a great oppurtunity to see how the team plays together, because it was pretty perfectly matched. The new guys gelled really well with the old guys, and we looked like we had been practicing together for years. Edward had a great game, playing aggressive throughout it all!

2nd Half

The beginning of the second half they made some chances. They put in one of their biggest players, which was painful for the center-midfielders. The game looked a lot like this:

A kick up field from our defense, then the defense on their team gets it, the ref calls a foul, the crowd gets angry, and then our offense almost makes a shot. 

Later in the second half when I passed up through the middle to someone (I don't remember who), and they almost made the goal on the left side of the field, but it was just right of the post. Out of the blue, a new recruit, Oliver, came in and tapped the ball in FOR A GOAL!! The team we played, Avanti, panicked after the goal, and tried numerous times to advance through our defensive line. Much to their discontent, they couldn't! The game ended

Surf 1, Avanti 0!!

What a great way to pave new beginnings! Until next week,
