Final spring game?

Toney will be a Senior this year. We will get to see her again in September.

In another game of interest today, Santa Clara and Oregon played to a 0 - 0 draw at Buck Shaw.

Interesting to note who did NOT play; Sophie, Cassie, Kendra, Hallie;

Younger (less experienced) players are stepping up quite nicely. I thought Emma played well as she has the last several games.

A well played even game with u-23 scoring on a couple longer thru balls. SP

I did not remember seeing Sophie on the bench. Was she doing Canada NT duties?

Sophie broke got her nose broken against Oregon. I haven't heard how she is doing.

I heard Sophie had surgery and then boarded a flight to China to play for Canada.
They lost yesterday, Canada 0-2 China.

Wow, that's a tough kid.

Sunday was an excellent day to see the Pilots stand up to the college all-stars. Maybe some of the UP players want to make a statement that they can play at national team level (even though Coach Irwin already knows they can)! UP never looked intimidated or impressed by the opponent, tho the U-23 speed did catch the defense off-balance on both scores. UP has some excellent chances in addition to a nice goal by Hallie. Keelin made a great header off a corner kick that was saved at the post by a defender. Ellen blasted one over the crossbar after a nice series of set-up passes by teammates. Taylor showed she is the real deal on offense by working her way around the backs for crosses or to force corners. It looked to me that Keelin played attacking mid for a while with Jessica at defensive mid when Ellen was out. Sarah Jackman also came in, with Elinor P., late in the game, although they got few touches. Playing games like this against high-quality teams in spring will serve to harden the Pilots for whatever comes in fall.

Kendra, Hailee, Kassie and Molly were on the bench though they did not play. Kassie will be ready for fall ball, she says.

Is it August yet?

here's a game summary from the Potomac soccer wire.

I think they made some of this stuff up
