Sodium Wins U14 Indoor Tournament

The lady warriors strutted their stuff around OSU's Truax Center this weekend as they were crowned Champions of the U14 bracket!
After getting off to a rocky start [a 1-3 loss to CFA Red Hots] Sodium bounced back to tie the second game against a tough Zvezda team. The late game was an 8-0 blow out of a big but not very physical Hermistan Heat.

In the semi's Sodium faced the Zvezda team and handed them a 3-0 loss.

The Championship game looked like it was going to be a run-a-way as Sodium came out fired up scoring two quick goals. The tough CFA team kept plugging along and answered with two goals of their own. With about 5 minutes left in the match Emmy Owens crashed the box off a Payten Sonnen skyrocket to cap the game and the Championship!

There were so many goals scored that I am not going to even try to recap them. We scored from the forward position, the midfield and even got two scores from Taylor Coon on defense. It was a great team effort, no one gave up when we started off with a loss and a tie. I can say that I will tip my hat to the lady warriors who stepped up and played goalie for Sodium. Thank you guys, you rock!

And a another 'Thank You' goes out to Ronnie for coaching her old team to another tournament victory! Felt like old times to hear that familiar voice yelling at the Sodium players. You could see the smiles on the faces of the Sodium faithful throughout the Truax Center.

Great job to all who participated and we are looking forward to a great season. Check out the link to the right for the Spring League Bracket.

From the sidelines we yell; GO SODIUM!
