Adidas Cup for Alegra's Team

 Alegra's Team played in the Adidas Cup the first week of school.  Our team lucked out because they were not scheduled for any games that conflicted with school.  Her team was unlucky because weather happen to be an issue for 2 of the 4 games.  The first game it just dumped on them.  The field was so wet and muddy but they toughed it out. They dominated the whole game but literally the other team had 2 breakaways the entire game and they scored on both breakaways, so we lost 0-2.  




The game Friday night and Saturday morning were much better weather wise and the girls showed up to play.  They ended up winning both of those games.  We had to wait for a game to be played at 2 to find out if the girls would make it to the championship game at 6.  The 2 p.m. game went the way it needed to go for our girls to be able to play in the championship game.  We showed up and you could just see the dark clouds moving in.  By the time the game started there were close to 70 mph winds and it started to drizzle.  It was crazy weather.  Right after half time, with the score 0-0, there was a huge lighting close by.  All the games in the complex were cancelled immediately and people were asked to hurry to their cars.  The outcome of this game was determined by a coin toss.  The other coach called heads and it ended up being tails so we won the championship for our age and division.  Rocky told the girls we will verse that team in a few weeks and we could wait to determine the medal at that game. I am proud of Alegra.  Her and one other teammate voted this way -she thought it was the most fair.  The rest of the girls voted to get the medals and be called the winners! Either way, they played great and had a fun tournament.  


Their teammate Laila moved to Hawaii for the year and she is #13 -they represented her at the championship game.  Super cute!
Medals handed out at the Monday practice after the tournament!

Ruki had a pool party for the girls the Friday following the tournament and after GL training.  Love that these girls have each other as friends and teammates.
