Samantha and her new U15 Impact teammates woke up early
this morning to play a 9:00am game on a frost covered field at Davenport
University in Grand Rapids. This was a close game played by two extremely evenly
matched teams, but in the end a single goal was enough to claim victory.
Unfortunately it wasn't the Impact team that got the goal, it was Vardar, late
in the second half. Despite their best efforts, the Impact girls weren't able to
net the equalizer, as they dropped their first game of the day.
