Sodium Explodes @ Blue Mountain Exchange

Nobody knew what hit them. The lady warriors descended on Pasco in typical Sodium style, they took the field fast, calculated and confident.
The morning game paired Sodium with BCSC from Idaho. Crisp passing, physical play and total domination were the themes all game. Guest keeper Sahalie Doe touched the ball a total of four times as the mids and forwards controlled game. Right out of the gate Marisa Reid drove deep into BCSC territory before serving up a cross for MAC Kearney to finish into the back of the net for the game opening goal! Just moments later Jadyn McMillan took a perfect dish from Emmy Owens, juked, jived and drilled the net for a 2-0 half time lead.
You knew that wasn't the end of the fireworks, this IS Sodium remember. With about 2 minutes left Lexi Frey lined up for a corner kick which she placed for the awaiting Laura Camp to blast into the BCSC net for proved the the third and final goal. A great opening win for the lady warriors. A real confidence builder.

In the nightcap Sodium faced TRSC Flames. To try and thwart the Sodium attack the Three Rivers team threw a 6 4 alignment into the mix [6 forwards & 4 defenders]. After evaluating the set and making adjustments, Sodium began their calculated attack. First out of the box was Hannah Lautenbach who crashed in from the left side to blister the net for the opening score. Just before half Laura Camp lined up a corner kick and let it fly. The ball was blasted off several defenders before being dished back to Laura who rifled her shot just out of reach of the keeper for a 2-0 half time lead! The Sodium faithful erupted in cheers and even entertained the crowed with a little footwork of their own [really, just trying to keep warm!].
The second half started as the first had ended, the play mainly isolated to the Flames end of the field. Physical play was the norm this afternoon as bodies were hitting the turf on nearly every possession. With just 2 minutes left in the match Lexi Frey put a couple moves on the right side defender, drove to the end line and dropped a perfect chip shot to the far post where driving Hannah Lautenbach flashed in the box to head the ball into the net! The score remained 3-0 to advance Sodium to the second day of competition a perfect 2-0.

Sodium is firing on cylinders and faces SSC Elite out of Seattle tomorrow to determine the bracket winner. The bracket winner will play for the Championship that afternoon.

Bundled and huddled to keep warm, muffled we yell: GO SODIUM!
