Hello Breakers Blackwatch ..

We return from another great tournament, in my opinion this was the most competitive tournament we’ve ever played in ..
The girls did great .. they were a little taken back at the speed & skills of our opponents, but we held our grounds & we
gave them all a good fight.

3-0 loss to Real California Academy
This was our first game & we had several scoring chances that we couldn’t finish .. following a few mistakes that rarely happen we allowed a few goals. We will be playing Real California again at State Cup & I like our chances against them, we were able to move the ball well & we attacked consistently. I think the girls will be looking forward to this game.

3-0 loss to SoCal Blues
This was a very good game, SoCal Blues is a very special team .. they were able to move the ball, controll the game & we did great at keeping their goal scorers checked for most of the game. I feel really good about this game, we happened to have given SoCal Blues one of the most competitive games they had all weekend, they won all their games on their way to winning the tournament by scores (6-0, 3-0 (against us), 4-1, 5-0 & 1-0 in finals). We wont see too many teams like them often, we played one of the top 3 teams in all of California here & we should feel proud of our girls.

0-0 tie vs Necaxa Team USA
This game we dominated from the begining, we really deserved to win it & we had lots of scoring chances. A lot of our energy was exerted in the previous games & the girls were not only tired, but they were also a bit bruised ..

You might recall that SoCal Blues had a girl in their team (Katie) that lost her hair due to the chemotherapy treatments. I talked to our team about her circumstances & I followed up with an email to the coach asking to send our team’s well wishes to Katie’s family. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the game of soccer, Katie is doing all of this while fighting for her life & her will to continue to climb that mountain is very inspiring. I know our girls thought of her as a very special player & she really apreciated the positive comments she got from our team.
