Chinook Cup Results: Day 3

vs FWU Reign Purple (early game)
The Reign came down Saturday morning as the powerhouse team from Washington handed Sodium their first defeat in 10 games. The win streak was snapped as a Purple forward floated a shot just out of the Sodium keepers reach to break the 1-1 tie late in the game. Hannah Lautenbach scored Sodium's only goal off a Jadyn McMillan shot deflection. As with most of the games, Sodium out-shot their opponent 3 to 1.

vs Columbia Timbers Red (late game)
The Washington teams are proving to be big, fast and pretty skilled. The lady warriors battled the Timbers Red squad all night. Physical play was the norm as bodies hit the turf and the rookie officiating staff had it's hands full. Just before half Laura Camp lined up another deadly corner kick. She took aim and lifted a perfect shot as the Sodium players crashed the net. Camp's shot proved to be accurate as it caught the net just inside the far post for what would later prove to be the winning goal!

With the guest players giving it their all the Sodium squad is playing pretty well. The next opponent, Emerald City, was with Sodium in Hawaii representing Washington and should prove to be a worthy foe.

GO SODIUM!
