Re: 2008 Soccer Season Thread

I watched from the midway point of the first half till the end. Definitely a game we could have won as we squandered several good scoring opportunities - seemed to rush things on the offensive end instead of settling the ball and making an extra pass on three or four runs. Goalkeeping was shaky at times as well. The overtime goal should have been punched clear but we missed it. Good game to build on though as the team's potential is evident and the girls play hard. This was the first one that counted after all. I look forward to a solid year from these ladies.

The Jacks return to action tomorrow night at 6 pm to host the Golden Goofers of Minnesota at Fishback Soccer Complex. If you're in the area come watch the Jacks take on a good local team.

I had planned on coming up with my daughter, but just got out of a late meeting. Hope the wind helps in the 2nd half!
