The final game of the season looked like it was going to
be a tough, close contest as the Tri-County Pumas managed to score the only goal
of the first half. With the score 1-0, the second half got underway with a new
goaltender in the net... for the first time this season, Samantha was placed in
goal (unlike last session, she didn't volunteer because nobody else wanted to
this time - although nobody wanted to play in goal this half, Sam was selected
by the coach). She made a couple of nice saves during her time in goal, but she
also managed to allow the only goal her team gave up tonight as well.
Fortunately it didn't matter, as the rest of her teammates were on fire, going
on a wild scoring binge to close out the game. In what seemed like the blink of
an eye, goal after goal was being scored by the Pumas. In the end, the referee
had to tell our girls to back off a little bit. The final score wound up being
8-1, and I am sure it could have been worse. The win gave the girls a winning
record for this session, at 4-3-1.
