After losing their previous two games by a combined score
of 12-0 I made the assumption that this game wasn't going to much of a contest
for Jayden's soccer team. I offered to take Drew to hockey practice so that Tara
could go to Jay's final soccer game this year (not to mention that we reversed
roles on Saturday, when I got to watch Jay's team play). Things seemed to be
going bad for Jay's team early on, as they quickly fell behind by 4 goals in the
first quarter. Somewhere in the second quarter things started to click for Jay's
team, as she opened the scoring for her team with a goal and they managed to
score another to close the gap to 4-2 at halftime. I didn't get many updates
after that, but I did get a phone call from Jay after the game, and she let me
know that her team won their first game of the season 6-5! Not only did they
win, but Jay not only scored, but she scored a total of 3 goals! Although it was
a tough season overall, this was a great way to end the season for Jayden and
her teammates!
