The lady warriors made their favorite road trip east this weekend to take on OR Rush 95. In typical Bend fashion the officiating was less than stellar but the play was spectacular! Right out of the gate Rush took advantage of a lapse in defense and scored. Sodium had several players absent so they had some player shifts and only one sub compared to Rush's 5. Not be out done Sodium came back with an offensive flurry that culminated with MAC Kearney taking advantage of a keeper miscue by ripping the ball past her for a 1-1 tie. Sodium came knocking again late in the first half when Hannah Lautenbach's attempt to chip the ball into the far corner just deflected off the cross bar. The half ended as the play see-sawed back and forth. The majority of play in the second half was isolated to the Rush side of the field. Although, there were occasions when Sodium keeper Camille Fairbairn had to make a some awesome saves to keep the score tight, but other than that, it was in Rush's end. It wasn't for lack of opportunity that the score was tied. The lady warriors penetrated and penetrated but just couldn't find the net as the much improved Rush defense held their ground. I'm sure we will see this team again in State Cup, so keep pushing Sodium and next time we meet we will have a full healthy roster and give them a little taste of Back in Black!
Next up; Rogue Valley in Medford on 4/11/09 for the first game of State Cup!
GO SODIUM!
