Sodium ties Reading

In a game that many thought would be a blow out, ESUFC Reading handed Sodium a tie. The game started out in typical Sodium fashion with the play centered on the Reading goal. Midway through the first half Emmy Owens, after beating her midfielder, took a break deep down the left hand side. A perfect cross was dished to a penetrating Payten Sonnen who capped the play with a rifle past the Reading keeper! Minutes later Reading capitalized on a momentary defensive breakdown to tie the score at 1-1 before half.
The second half played out like the first with play confined to the Reading half of the field. Sodium was unable to put another in the net as time elapsed and the score remained 1-1.
Coach Tom had some words about dedication, focus and State Cup preparation for the team after the game.

Next up: 9AM 2/22/09 vs Corvallis FA Red Hots in Corvallis.

After the long drive the Sodium faithful cheer: GO SODIUM!
