Jayden's soccer team played their final game of the season
today, and for a while there it seemed as though they didn't even know that they
were playing! Jayden started the game out in goal, and while she made some
really nice saves, she faced a lot of shots and wound up giving up two goals.
Her teammates helped her out by getting one of those goals back, but they
trailed 2-1 after the first quarter. Jay moved to offense in the second quarter,
and she scored the game tying goal on a nice long kick from outside the keeper
box. Jay sat the third quarter, and her team wound up allowing another goal
during this time frame. They gave up yet another goal in the fourth, falling
behind by two. It was only a furious rally late that wound up giving the girls
any chance at victory. Two goals in the last few minutes by Jay's teammate gave
the girls a 4-4 tie against the team that handed them their only loss of the
season. The girls ended the year with a 6-1-1 record, which is more than
respectable.
