Nora's first goal, and meet our keeper
Nora Scores First Goal in Draw Against Lakeview United
The U12 Girls tie Lakeview United 1-1. Nora scored her first ever goal, a header off Priya's corner midway through the second half. Lakeview converted a penalty in the last minute to equalize.
Ella made six saves in goal, including a diving one in the first half. Nora's grandmother drove up from New Jersey to see her play for the first time.
Theo scores from way outside the box
The U10 Boys faced Stonebridge FC and ended the game with a score of 1-4. Theo scored from way outside the box, right into the top corner. Marcus never stopped chasing. Coach Dave told them it was the best they have passed all season, whatever the score says.
Lily scores two, and a dog steals the show
The U9 Girls beat Elm Grove SC 3-1. Lily scored twice and Zoe added one; Elm Grove scored right at the end.
Midway through the second half, half the team stopped to watch a dog chase a ball on the next field. So did the ref.

Ella Brennan
U12 Girls, goalkeeper
Six saves against Lakeview, including a full-stretch dive that kept the game level. Ella asked to play in goal last fall after a teammate got hurt and has not given the gloves back since.
“I like that everybody is yelling at me and I just have to ignore them.”
