Sodium continues roll through QT

Friday, 8/15 vs WUSC Flamengo
The lady warriors won their 7th game of the 2008/2009 Qualifying Tournament (6 by shutout!) to lead all brackets with a perfect 10 points!

The game opened up in typical Sodium Style as Emmy Owens took a pass and streaked the distance for the opening goal! The fans hadn't even settled in their seats yet as she ripped the net in the first 30 seconds! As was the case in games past, 90% of the play was confined to the Flamengo end. Twice during the game Flamengo's had free kicks. the first was deflected over the cross bar by Laura Camp. The second was deflected off the cross bar by Sodium keeper Camille Fairbairn and cleared by Taylor Coon. Sodium dodged a couple bullets but kept the pressure where it belonged, on the WUSC goalie. The second half started with Sodiums lead still 1-0. That's when Payten "Wheels" Sonnen caught fire! Twice during the second half Payten out-hustled the WUSC defense to rip the net. The Sodium front line delivered an outstanding job all game long! The newly crowned 'EAT' defense shut the Flamengo forwards down in typical, physical Sodium Style. Special recognition goes out to both Lexi Frey and Mac Kearney as they showed exceptional hustle and guts on a blisteringly hot afternoon. Hats off to the entire team, they played great and showed why they put in those hours of extra conditioning as the Flamengo showed signs of wear & tear at the end.
