We won!!!

Yeah !!!!!!!!!! We won!! with a 2-1 win.

While I didn't did anything to impact that result.... (ie - didn't made the goal) it was still really cool to watch it happen!

This was a perfect night for soccer. Cool enough, not cold. And we got most of the team members there - ie - 2 extra girls and 2 extra guys for subbing. Yeah! I got in a bit late but I still made it in time for the girl to sub out. BTW - its all about subbing - it really gets tiring and not fun when you are on the field all the time....

I got in sometimes in the middle of the first half.. Left Center. Ok. I know what to do there. The ball didn't come by my side too often.. and remembered that I just go back and forth a bit. But this was the half where we got 2 goals. :) Yeah!!!!

Breaktime! The girls talked about boots and fall fashion while the guys probably was talking about how to improve the game. I took some sips of water.... ack..

The second half comes around, we got a great game going. .. I was on the bench watching the game with Lauren ... then Chris K came back after a sub and said - think its time for you guys to go out - since Lan is limping a bit. We were both like sure! Lauren was getting chilly!!

Got out in the field and got assigned as Center forward. I was like - huh? what do I do there? I am not totally sure what that does but I think I try to stay in the center a bit more rather than being on the side.... I found that - I don't like being in the center. I have this fear that if I have the ball and everyone comes to me.. I would freak out. Besides - I like running sideways .. and that's perfect for being on the side.

In the middle of that game... a ball came straight at me, and it was an easy catch. But I was clueless what to do next. Before I can think about it, a lady from another team got close and kick my ball away!! just like that!! but then I chased after it and kicked it back out to someone in my team.... thank goodness.....

We let one in accidentally b/c we were all kinda tired.. and decided that three people should be enough to defend the goal. The other team didn't even bother to gather everyone closer. But someone - somehow, got the goalie away on to one side.. and the big gap happened... *darn*

Oh well. But hey ! we kept to the last minutes and keep the points out! Yeah!!!

Its sooo cool :) I wasn't even that tired... woah!

Its not fair being the girl...

First soccer game tonight. Ugh. Tired. Really tired.

Chris came to be the cheerleader. I had no clue what to do...
Having a cheerleader is nice :) He bought me water .. as I was too tired to get them.

I was assigned to play center - right or was it left. Don't know. I managed to kick the ball a few times - away from the opponent, and attempt to pass it on . I think that ability decreases as the time goes on.

So, apparently, in a co-ed team, there needs to be always two girls in the field at all time. And today, there are only two girls (Kim and me) . That means we don't get to sub out, and we had to play the whole game.... Kim sticked it out... and so did I. But it sucks. Toward the end of the game, I focus on - standing up, not trip, and follow the ball. I attempted to block the ball from the opponent but I was just too tired.

No goals from me. The score was 2 - 1 (we lost). We didn't do too bad tho :)

That's my first soccer game. I am looking forward to the next one tho, and I hope we got all the girls there so we can sub in and out.

Very hungry... need to shower and eat...
