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.

Tri-captain Allison Bohne scores her 12th & 13th goals of the season to lead her team to the Championship match. Conspicuous during this match was the incredible defensive wall which I have not praised nearly enough this season. Anchored by Tenealle Tenewold and rounded out by Lisa Zelenak, Jessica Munson & Kristen (Dutch) Dutcher, the 4 of these players have truly gelled and combined all year to come as close to impenetrable as could ever be expected. Also rounding out the defensive efforts of these players and so very often initiating quick and strong counter-attacks with exceptional field vision and pin-point accuracy on served ball is team captain Jenna Hanna. Jenna is invaluable to this team because of several reasons: (1) she does not lose 50/50 balls, (2) she gives tireless effort every moment she is on the field, (3) she is always in the right position at the right time, (4) she is unselfish, (5) she works very hard at her skills both during practices and (i'm certain) off the field at home. This was an excellent performance, team. Let's go get 'em one more time! Goals scored by: Allison Bohne - 2

After allowing our 1st goal against on the season, United came roaring back to put the game out of reach before the opponent finally scored a late 2nd goal which had little significance. This match revealed a fantastic resolve in and the ability to Really turn it on when it counts. Goals Scored by: Ali Vogt - 2 Sara Driscoll Kristen Mannino Allison Bohne

5 goals spread among 4 players show that not only is this team talented, but unselfish and playing for each other rather than concentrating on selfish motives and individual glory. It is a proud reflection on the entire roster. Goals scored by: Ali Vogt Kristen Mannino Allison Bohne - 2 Rebecca Heck
