Sodium's influence runs deep

Last weekend down in Southern California there was a little soccer tournament going on, the FC Slammer Summer Classic. In the semifinal game of the U13 Premier division two teams met. A team Sodium knows from Regionals named FC Slammers. The other team, West Coast FC United, is comprised of two starters from our own team, Bailey and Bethany Hall. That day the twins were victorious against the Slammers with Bethany (that's right, Bethany) scoring the winning goal with a header. That was outstanding in its own right but it's what happened after the game that was truly miraculous. At mid-field the twins turned to the Slammer bench and proclaimed; "This is for Sodium!"

The look on the players, and parents, faces told them that they remember. They remember the 'War in Waikiki' when a group of girls from Oregon showed them that they knew a thing or two about soccer. And that for a brief half, these girls were on top of the world.

Remember that when you take the field this weekend lady warriors. That the Sodium influence runs deep. Girls from other clubs as well as your own look up to you and know how great you are. Take pride when you take the field, take pride in victory, take pride you are Sodium.

GO SODIUM!
