First Weekend of OPL

The lady warriors completed the first weekend of the OPL with 2 shutouts!

vs Bridlemile Mercury Black
Despite the pouring down rain, the lady warriors came out fired up and ready to dominate! From the opening whistle Sodium had control and never looked back. The scoring barrage started off with Peyton Sonnen's assist to a breaking Emmy Owens for the opening goal! After a handball in the 18-yard box Marisa Reid popped in the PK for a 2-0 lead. Next up came a 20-yard rocket from the left side by Lexi Frey to give Sodium a 3-0 lead. Just before half Emmy was driving deep down the right side when she found Marisa streaking to goal! 4-0 Sodium lead at half! Second half started off as the first had ended. Lexi found Emmy in the box for number 5, then Lexi took it herself on a long break-a-way for number 6! The night-cap was provided by Katherine Kramer off a Hannah Lautenbach rip that deflected off the keeper. Sodium posted a 7-0 win! Hats off to the Sodium mid-fielders who totally controlled the ball and tempo all game.
vs EMFC Magic
The game was held at Smith Elementary School, a closed school that time had forgot. In the mud the Sodium squad seemed about a half step behind the Magic all game. Couldn't have anything to do with the multiple sleep-overs the night before, could it? hmmm. Anyway, the play was back-and-forth all game until, with only about 2 minutes left, Lexi Frey placed a perfect corner kick to the front of the net where Hannah Lautenbach rocketed it in for the 1-0 win!
