Jayden and her teammates played a rematch against her
former coaches and teammates, who they had lost to 7-1 in the first game of the
season this year. Things were looking promising for Jay's team early in this
game, as they jumped out to an early lead, going in to the second quarter with a
2-0 lead. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there, as they allowed 5
unanswered goals to finish the game with a 5-2 defeat. Jay did spend one quarter
playing for the other team, who were shorthanded for today's game. She played
defense for the opposition, and despite my urging to let her team score a bunch
of goals she just couldn't do it! Jay played well today, getting herself in
position for a couple of good shots on goal. She wasn't able to convert, but it
certainly wasn't for a lack of effort.

quarter). Here she is lining up a goal kick...
