This is Em playing tough defense in last week's regular season finale. She is one of only a few 5th graders on the school team this year and they are holding their own pretty well with the older girls!
They found themselves down 0-4 at the half vs. Stratton and it wasn't looking good. But the girls reached deep and fought hard, coming back with 4 unanswered second-half goals to tie it up, where it finished 4-4 after overtime. Last night the #3 Strong girls had to travel to #2 Stratton for the first round of the playoffs and battled to a 0-0 tie after regulation AND overtime, eventually winning by Penalty Kicks 3-2!! The win pushed them straight to the Championship, Saturday night under the lights at MT. Abram High School. :)
