Yeah...it's a big deal! And we are super proud! Watching two very competitive teams battle it out was so exciting (and nerve racking!). The other team scored first and it was so painful, at half it was still 0-1 them! The girls came out ready for a battle and scored! 1-1 tie! Just thought we would burst...then we have a goal called off...ugh! The next 20 minutes were the hardest, both teams playing so hard. The competition and talent at this level is so exciting. Lots of chances on both sides, then finally we score!! About 5 minutes left to go, the other team is soooo good, the last 60 seconds of the game our goalie was out of position and they shot, the ball trickled to our goal and one of our defenders just barely beat the other team to the ball to tap it out. Really thought it was a goal (as did the entire crowd), FINALLY the ref blew the whistle and pure joy and happiness on the girls' faces and tears and screaming from the parents! Only another parent who has been there can know how bad you want this for your kid! Kate (sick and all) did awesome, she was tough and fought hard and had 2 stellar games back to back! WTG kid, you are amazing!! Once again, another moment where you want to freeze time....
