Sodium starts league play with a victory!

The lady warriors faced a tough competitor Sunday in the Keizer Hotshots but crisp passing and total ball control proved to be too much for them.
Sodium hadn't faced the Hotshots since last years semi-finals of the State Cup but the outcome proved to be the same.
Sodium controlled the tempo and the ball as the Keizer team, known for their "kick and chase" style never could mount an attack. With shots bouncing off their goalie, the cross bar and everything else, the Keizer team couldn't handle the quickness and stamina of the improved Sodium team.
With the first half ending scoreless Sodium came out of the blocks in attack mode. The forwards penetrated the Hotshot defense from both the left and right sides. In one of the attacks, originated by Laura Camp, Hannah Lautenbach drove hard down the left side into the box. Her rocket nearly knocked the Keizer goalie down and was just too hot to handle as Emmy Owens was right there to clean up with a goal! If Emmy hadn't finished Payten Sonnen was there, literally in the net, to make sure this one wasn't going anywhere but in!
The defense and mids had another outstanding game shutting the Hotshots down all morning.

An outstanding effort by the entire team as every player contributed to the victory!
