The Sporting girls finished out the fall season playing in some brutally cold conditions. They started the month with a 1-1 tie on Long Island on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The following weekend, the played on Saturday night in below freezing temps, following by a Sunday morning game in similar temps but with the benefit of the sun. The final game of the season was played on the night of Veteran's Day, the warmest day of the long weekend. The girls finished the fall season strong, winning two of three games, and both of those wins came with their backup goalie and many girls playing new positions. While they will play indoor this winter, it's a much easier pace with only one practice and one (shorter) game each weekend.
This was after the tying goal - I love how happy these girls all are for one another.
After their 1-1 tie on Long Island.
I didn't get any photos of the night games and Emily barely touched the ball when she was on our side of the field during the last day game. Here she is, running down a through ball during one of her only chances to play offense this season. Her speed and strength are two things that we are going to work on over the winter. No matter what sports she ends up playing in high school, increasing both will serve her well.
