Heather scored a second goal in the semi final game this morning to propel her team into the championship game against Barrington. Clearly outmatched, the girls still managed to score a goal on their opposition, the first one allowed by Barrington in the entire tournament. They almost scored a second time on a penalty kick but eventually lost 4 - 2.
Now Heather is talking about going to the tryouts for the fall … go figure, nothing like a little success to make it worthwhile to play.

Heather isn’t sure she wants to play soccer anymore, despite being on the U-10 girls’ traveling team, because it conflicts with her first love of dance. However, this weekend she has played magnificently in helping her team win their division at the Libertyville Cup Memorial Day tournament. Although generally playing defense (and doing so fiercely at this tournament in particular), her coach allowed her to play forward in the final game …. and SHE SCORED! A great pass allowed her to scoot past her opponent and dump the ball in left-footed to give Libertyville the cushion goal they needed to win their bracket and improve their record to 3 and 0. Semifinal game is Memorial Day morning … and the championship an hour later if they win that one.
