U15 Game 10

Samantha and her new U15 Impact teammates played their final game of the weekend and the season in the afternoon after playing an early morning game today. Sam played at her usual midfield position in the first half, but was moved to forward in the second half. Although she doesn't feel comfortable as a forward, she really did a good job here - leading the charge down the sideline and passing the ball across to her teammates in the middle of the field. Unfortunately her efforts were for naught, as her team struggled once again. The managed to tie the game up before giving up a goal midway through the second half. They made a furious attempt to net the final game-tying goal before the final whistle blew. The end result was a 2-1 defeat, their third of the weekend.
