QT Results Day 3

Salmon Creek Nemesis 95:
What was thought was going to be Sodium's toughest challenge thus far, the lady warriors took on the Nemesis. Right out of the gate the battle was on! Sodium's fast acting offense was relentless in it's attack of the goal. Just before half Hannah Lautenbach worked the ball down the left side. A perfect cross to Payten Sonnen who was flying in from the right side resulted in a 1-0 Sodium lead at half. The second started off with Sodium being awarded a corner kick. Laura Camp lined up and delivered
a great ball to the net. Alertly she followed her kick and, after the ball being bounced around, had a second opportunity that she capitalized on! Sodium up 2-0! The Sodium defense, dubbed the EAT defense because of the way they chew up and spit out offenses (it also stands for Erika, Alexis and Taylor) had another outstanding day, totally shutting down the power-packed Nemesis offense. Midway through the second half Sodium's forwards were blistering the Nemesis keeper. One deflected off the goalie and Mac Kearney was there to blast it home for a 3-0 lead! The crowed (and players) were sensing another shut out and going wild! To put the exclamation point on the game, Payten Sonnen drove the ball deep down the right side, reversed direction, then cleared a perfect cross to an awaiting Marisa Reid who drilled it home! Marisa's goal proved to be the last as time ran out and Sodium posted yet another shut-out!

WSM Firestorm:
Sodium deserved a little time off after 5 straight wins. They found it with WSM. Boy, where do I start. I will list the goals as they occurred;
1) Laura Camp corner kick to Lexi Frey
2) Laura Camp pk to Lexi Frey
3) Lexi Frey cross to Hannah Lautenbach
4) Jadyn McMillan assist to Camille Fairbairn (powered it in!)
5) Payten Sonnen on a break
6) Taylor Coon assist to Laura Nguyen
7) Erika Cook on a break
8) Taylor Coon in front of goal
9) Laura Nguyen in front of net
10) Marisa Reid assist to Camille Fairbairn

That's right folks, 10-0 was the score!!! We haven't scored 10 goals in one game since we beat Hillsboro Crush in last years QT tournament! We had so many players playing in so many different positions. We had the speed package, the 'Big Kahuna' package. The Mighty Mights and any and all other combination you can think of. We threw all these packages in and STILL scored. Tom finally told the team they had to have at least 5 touches before they shot!

The girls are firing on all cylinders and really playing well. Sodium is passing the ball better than we have seen in awhile. Communication is outstanding! The offense is showing patience, not panicking when behind, picking apart defenses and attacking the goal. The defense is melodic as they collapse, double team and disassemble opponents offenses. It is really a thing of beauty.

Next up: PQT next weekend at REC. Schedule will follow.

In awe, your fans and parents yell: GO SODIUM!
