The Spiders had a great game Saturday. The big highlight was Xavier's first goal. Jill played hard again and continues to improve every week. Noah had a few goals too.
The Seals were dominant with a couple of excellent goals from Owen and great play from everyone else. Everybody was doing a great job playing off the ball and avoiding being trapped in the corners. Kendall's play was the big highlight of the game. She wasn't just running with the ball. At one point she was dancing with it, trying to get around the other players. Justin, too, was putting his own ball handling skills to the test regularly. I love to see that kind of confidence.
The Bullets got beat but they played really hard this week. I was really proud of all of them. They showed great energy and attacked the ball hard. Still the play, especially in defense, was a bit panicky but it's getting better. Avery led our offense most of the game again with lots of help from Erika and Kyle K. Kyle had our best shot on goal in the first half. Our lone goal was from Helen who put in a beautiful cross from Avery. David is showing great improvement as a defender, playing with the kind of tenacity the position demands. Also of note; I mentioned last week that Jordan was playing so aggressively in defense that I would have to move her up to midfield. Well this week in midfield she began, unprompted by me, to sneak up into offense looking for a shot on goal. Impressive.
We certainly missed Braden and Lauren and look forward to having them back this coming week. Helen, Erin and I will be absent this week as we have a strings recital to attend. Lisa Roedig, Avery's mom, will be filling in for me as coach.
