Halloween battle of the scary socks--1-0 Win over Devils

October 31st--The consolation game for the Medina tournament pitted Sporting and their spooky spider web socks against the equally scary skull socks of the Sunnyvale Devils (second picture). This was also the last day of Sportings pink Goals for a Cure jerseys, so we took a picture of the team in pink with spiderwebs (first picture). Kristen also wanted a pink ribbon formation picture, so we did that as well (last picture). The game was a very evenly contested match which featured more headers (pictures 3 &4 of Katie and Marlene) than any I can remember between Sporting and an opponent. Both teams were good all day on defense, with a few good attempts by Marlene and AK for the Devils, and Moni, Morgan and Preeya with open looks for Sporting. The games only goal was a long shot (figuratively and literally) by Katie (picture 5) from the left of the bottom of the center circle. The high arcing shot ball bounced in front of the keeper and high over her head (it didn't look like she had a play) into the goal. Overall a very successful tournament for Sporting, playing competitively with 3 very good teams.
