The spring season has gotten off to a slow start for the Sporting 06 girls. Last Sunday, they were absolutely stunned in a devastating loss to a team they tied last fall. The girls were flat, slow and uninspiring, losing 8-0 (not a typo) to Syracuse. They worked incredibly hard during the week, including a particularly brutal conditioning day with the 06 boys. This Sunday, they looked significantly better, and stayed even with a much better team for close to an hour, before the other teams conditioning got the best of them. Starting the season 0-2 wasn't exactly what they had in mind, but they are starting to look focused and sharp. This coming weekend, they play a team ranked in top 5 on the east coast (and ranked number 1 nationally last year). It will be another difficult test, but they can only get better from here.
Emily is nursing a sore groin, so is wearing a brace/wrap when she plays; ice and ibuprofen off the field. It's a difficult injury to stay on top of, especially because it only hurts when she plays.
