Galaxy Girls tied the indoor soccer season finale today 3-3.  Total 90 came ready to play today!  They scored first.  Big footer Ariana came back to tie the game.  Before the half, Ariana fired another one in the goal, and Total 90 planted 2 balls in the net.  It was 3-2 before the half. 
 
In the second half, both teams played big defense.  Goalies for both teams stood strong in the goal.  Total 90 and Galaxy had breakaway runs, but were stopped by defenders or the goalie.  The crowed chanted, "Here we go Galaxy, here we go!"  Galaxy got fired up.  Forwards started striking!  Michele's power foot scored to tie the game 3-3.  Galaxy got their momentum back with more shots up court.  Unfortunately, it was a little too late.  The game ended in a tie: no OT, no shoot out! 
 
At the June 27 match, Galaxy out scored Total 90 White 5-2.
 
Other Highlights of the game:
  1. Anuhea played "Defensive Tackle" as she bumped Total 90 when the ball wasn't in play!  She also had a big stop in the first half as she blitzed back to the goal, stepped in front of the Total 90 player steps away from Goalie Michele, took the ball, and headed down court!
  2. As striker Gabriela fired at the goal!  She hustled to follow the shots to the goal.  In the back, she swept up balls and sent them flying.
  3. Genevieve fought hard for balls up against the wall, and won them!
  4. Bethanee assisted Ariana on a goal.  Again, she raced down court with the ball many times.
  5. Jessi covered the ball to defend the goal as goalie!  She had many big kicks down court, and when she didn't have a striker in front of her, she dribbled down court until she was clear to pass to a teammate!

Congratulations on a beautiful season, Galaxy Girls!  What an awesome year.  Many wishes to you on your new teams.  Mahalo to Coach Jason and Coach David for their work this year.  Great job.
