Morgan's soccer team played in the Midwest Regionals tournament this past weekend. There was a heat advisory the whole weekend and it was brutal! Luckily, they lifted the substitution rule and allowed unlimited subbing. Normally, you can only sub a kid once in a half. They also allowed multiple water breaks during the games to give the girls a break. Even with those things, it was still brutally hot! Our team only had two subs each game, so we were definitely at a disadvantage against the teams who had 5 or 6 subs. The girls won the game on Friday, but lost the next two games. So, we didn't make it to the finals.
It started off rainy on Friday, but that quickly lifted and the heat set in!
Morgan played goalie for the first half of all games and sometimes a bit more. She does really well at goalie and the team would love for her to be the full time goalie, but she just doesn't want that. She likes playing in the field, too.
After the last game, the girls all went to Culver's for ice cream to celebrate Gia's birthday. But, when we got there, the indoor dining area was closed because they had no A/C. They said only the drive thru was open and they gave them coupons for free ice cream. So, of course, the girls all decided they should pile in the truck and go through the drive thru! :) Luckily, Sydney's mom was up for it and drove them.
They sat outside, ate their ice cream and sang Happy Birthday to Gia. I'm glad the girls all get along pretty well. I think it's tough some times for Morgan because she is one of the three girls that are younger on the team. They all have cell phones and are in middle school! She is not and has no cell phone yet (which she complains about frequently!)
We're all looking forward to some time off of soccer! It was a rough season with a lot of losses. They moved up to the NPL and played against some tough competition. I'm sure it's good for them, but it's hard on the confidence. We'll see what next year holds! :)
