Final Soccer Saturday, All-Star Game Edition

Kelly's first appearance in an all-star game was a good one. She started the game and had some good touches, including a clever change of direction and pass that shook off a defender and drew oohs from the onlookers. The game was played evenly in the first half, with each team scoring a pretty goal. Lafayette dominated possession in the second half, but they could not put a ball in the net. The game came down to penalty kicks. Moraga's first three penalties were unstoppable corner shots. Moraga's goalkeeper, on the other hand, utterly stoned Lafayette, stopping all three of their shots and ending the game (because the penalties are on a best-of-five shots basis). The girls now get to share the trophy for a few weeks each, just like the Stanley Cup.






So we close the book on soccer for another year. Just one more to come for Kelly.
