The lady warriors advanced to the championship game in the Blue Mountain Exchange tournament by defeating a big, physical SSC Elite team from Spokane.
The play went back and forth as bodies hit the ground, whistles blew and blood flowed in this typical Sodium battle. It took two tries for Payten Sonnen to score the first goal. She took a great cross from Emmy Owens, deflected it off the post, got her own rebound and blasted the net past the Elite keeper. Again, play went back and forth as the big SSC defense was tough to penetrate. Late in the first half Eli Beard was mugged just outside the 18-yard box that resulted in a Sodium PK. Taylor Moscoe confidently sized up the situation, took a step and sent a booming kick just out of the Elite keepers reach, off the cross bar and into the upper right net! The crowed erupted with cheers as Taylor was swarmed by her team mates. The half ended with Sodium up 2-0. The second half was scorless but no less exciting as the physical Spokane team gave the Sodium squad all they could handle. The final whislte blew givng Sodium the advantage they need to advance into the Championship game.
Next up: The Championship match vs 2 time BME Champion, TRSC Rage.
With fire in their eyes the lady warriors will take the field with an axe to grind. You see, the Rage defeated Sodium last year in the Lake Oswego Cup so Sodium will take the field with a little extra in their step, and a little something to prove.
From under the umbrellas the Sodium faithful will be screaming; GO SODIUM!
