NPL Champs!

Morgan's travel soccer team finished up their regular season on Thursday night with a tie against Wheaton United, which secured them 1st place in the league for their level! They played great this season!

It looks like she's about to set the ball when she's getting ready to do this header!

They had a little medal ceremony afterwards and the girls got to take pictures with the trophy!

Congrats Roadrunners! They still have playoffs in a couple weeks to finish out this league. The two games for the playoffs are both on nights that girls on their team have 8th grade graduation, so those games are going to be short-staffed. Morgan and three other girls are still in 7th grade, so they'll be at both playoff games! :)

The coach has already said they may be moving the team up to the higher level in the league. When they originally started in the NPL last spring, there was just one level and they lost all but one game and finished last in the league out of 10 teams. It was a rough season! Then, more teams joined the league and they split it into two levels of 7 teams each. This coming year will be different because we won't be playing in the spring. The older girls aren't allowed to play high school and travel soccer at the same time.
