The Sporting 06 girls played one ugly game in June, losing to a longtime rival, a team they can never seem to beat. After that game, Emily was lucky enough to be invited to play several games for the Sporting 05 team, which is one age level up. Although we'd like to think she was invited because of her stellar play, she's still struggling to get back to pre-injury form, so that likely wasn't it. We do know that one invite came after a few other girls couldn't make it. Her pride was a little bruised for that one, and she played incredibly well in the game, making some great throw ins and playing very strong defense. She also played for two out of three showcase games for the 05 girls, and despite not playing her best, she ended up scoring the game winner in both games. All in all, it was a good experience and a confidence builder for her. This summer, she will play two tournaments for her summer team and some summer league games with NWC, but will mostly concentrate on her overall fitness and strength.
