Today we played the West Coast Flames and were on the
road. The weather started out great and the competition appeared to be similar
to the last time we took the field. Samantha started out strong and the Venice
Falcons held off the opposition for most of the first half. They were even able
to score their first goal and take the 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, just after the
Falcons scored, Sam found herself injured and carried off the field; she had
twisted her ankle as she challenged an opposing player. Entering the second
half, that great weather I mentioned moved out as the rain began to pour and
soak the field. As the Falcons did their best to maintain their lead, the Flames
managed to swoop in and score the tying goal. That is the way this game ended,
in a 1-1 tie; leaving the Falcons in third place and the Flames in first.
