With a perfect 4-0 record the lady warriors swept the BME tournament by beating local, and 2 time defending champion, TRSC Rage on Sunday. The Rage seemed a little over confident as the joked and laughed during warm-ups. On the other end of the field it was all business as Sodium flawlessly followed their pregame routine.
The play was physical all day as the battle raged [yes, that is a pun] on at midfield. Late in the first half Lexi Frey lined up one of her patented corner kicks and let it fly! The ball floated right down into the front of the net where a mosh pit of players ensued. Before it had a chance to touch the ground though Emmy Owens went air born to blast it in! The crowed went nuts as Sodium was on the board! The Rage was really didn't know what hit them. The score remained 1-0 at half as Tom huddled the team for a few adjustments. The second half started just as the first, a war from whistle to whistle. At one point Laura Camp lofted a corner kick that a crashing Lexi Frey and MAC Kearney both got a head on! MAC's went off the cross bar and out of bounds. The battle ensued until the final whistle and Sodium was crowned Champions! The team was whisked off to the adjacent field to cheer on the U12 Mercury team as they went into double over-time!
The Sodium squad really put the hammer down this weekend scoring 10 goals and allowing 0. A testiment to visiting keeper Sahalie Doe who, even though it was her birthday, traveled to Pasco to play with Sodium. A very special "THANK YOU" goes out to Sahalie. [see picture]

The play from every position was outstanding this weekend. The solid 'EAT' defense shut down some very talented offensive threats, the mids rarely lost a 50/50 and the forwards [including the Mighty 180's!] out-shot their opponents 3 to 1.
Up Next: A little break then off to San Diego!
