Rochester Pride - RSC Lightning '96

ouch. The opposition was very good and outplayed us today. Of significance from a team standpoint, with Jenna Hanna out with injury today, Allison Bohne has been named the teams 3rd captain and will retain the role as "tri-captain" for the remainder of the season along with Jenna and Kristen Mannino. All season long Allison has proven to possess a strong sense for the goal and a magnificent finishing touch. But she is not being named captain just because she scores alot. Allison's contribution and value as a team leader are further displayed by how unassumingly yet with the same determination to quality effort and play she accepts the defensive roles I'll put her in after scoring early and often. I know she'd like to stay up front and score more. But she understands what I'm doing and never complains, never pouts, and continues to play excellent soccer. This allows other players to gain valuable experience up front and allows for the overall development of everbody on the team. Allison has certainly proven herself worthy to be named captain.
