Murrieta Results

Fun Fun Weekend in the Sun!!! Great Games!!! Awesome Improvement!!! Fun - what more can we ask for?

Shannon, Elizabeth, Jenny, Chandler, Vaune, Elis Brooks, Alex played on Sat along with a few former National Team Players (over 40) played with Team Vegas. The 1st game was pretty easy, we won playing a good pressing defense. The 2nd game was very close with our Hall of Famer Vaune doing some fancy work at two meters. Vaune was playing with players she played with on the National Team and they did not lose the connection - they knew where to put the ball, when to put the ball at two meters, it was really nice to. The score was very close but with 7 second the ball was given to Vaune at set it took Vaune about 3 seconds with the ball to work her magic and scored the winning goal.

The third game was also very close but we ran out of gas in their 3rd game of the day... and lost by 1 goal. After the games the team went to lunch together and our players got to talk to the former national team players - listen to some old funny stories.

The men also did a great job - like the women's game our 1st game was pretty easy again with a pressing defense. Our 2nd game was a pick up game after a team did not show up - this was a close game (but knowing the next game was against the best team in the tournament we played the starters in short spans of time) . We beat the team by 1 goals. We played the very next game (5 min rest) against the #1 seeded team, we started off with great defense and we up 6 - 2. Then our defense broke down and it was all down hill from there. Miramar scored the next 4 goals and went up by 1.... then it was back and forth, at one point they were up by 4 goals, Joe made some great shots after begin fouled and they beat us by 2 goals 14-12. Our last game we played our defensive game plan and the other team was only able to score 1 goal. There was improvement by all.

I can not remember when I have had more fun coaching then this past weekend!! Thank You Team!!!
