Junior Olympics - Finals

On the last day in the semi final game we just did not match up well against Huntington Beach but most of all we did not make adjustments in the water and turned the ball over many times which lead to their counter attack goals. Losing this game meant we were headed to the Bronze Medal Game.

We played Laguna Beach again - last time we got lucky and tied them 2-2. It was a very close game throughout. In the third quarter we found the back of the net several times and took our biggest lead 7-4. In the 4th Laguna cames out and scored on their 1st two possessions which made it 7-6. The rest of the game was a defensive battle... for the next 3 mins the Vegas players were so involved in scoring because we have not scored we did not play defense - but watch what we were doing on offense. If it was not for Derek staying back and playing defense, making steals on a few bad passes from Laguna when they were up on counter attacks 3 on 1's we would have lost that game... Steven also made a few great saves on their counter attacks. We one 7-6 and took home the Bronze Medal and a team trophy. Awsome job!!

ps: I would hate to be the 1st person who puts their hand on top of the ball at workout on Tuesday!!!
