Game 13

After three tough games the Sharks let loose in their lone Wednesday night game, dominating the Blue team in an 8-1 win. It was fun to see the Sharks put into practice all the important aspects of the game we have been working on all year: containing defense, positions and spacing, passing, challenging the ball, hustle, teamwork, and good sportsmanship.

A near-perfect defensive effort was led by Liam and Sophia in goal, with help from Nate, Sophie, and others. Goals were scored by Luke, Cameron (2), Jake (3), Izzy, and Liam. Matthew and Sophie added to the offensive attack with good passing and hustle. The Sharks converted two penalty kicks, Cameron with one and Izzy, for her first goal of the year, on the other. Liam also scored his first goal of the season - the result of beautifully playing his position and being in the right place when the ball came across the middle.

Everyone should feel good about a well-played game.

There is only one game left this season, a showdown against a much-improved Yellow team.
