Game 5

Some games you just want to see end. This was one of those games. It didn't seem as though the girls had their hearts into the game today. They fell behind early on a penalty kick that was just out of Samantha's reach. She repeated her mistake from yesterday, kicking a ball out low that allowed the opposition to kick the ball over her head and into the net. By this point I was so frustrated that I don't even recall how the third goal occurred. The La Forza girls managed to score their second goal of the season in today's game, so at least they had that positive going for them. The final score was 3-1, but in a lot of ways it didn't even see that close.
