The Futsal season has proved to be very instructional for the Sodium squad. Precise passing, lightening fast decisions and spot on rotations are all part of the game. I think the skills developed by this program will prove to be a positive as we move into the OSU Indoor tournament and on to the remaining league games February 6th.

Great job ladies!

GO SODIUM!!

Oregon State 7 v 7 Indoor Tournament

Sodium is once again going to strut its stuff in Corvallis for the 7 v 7 indoor tournament January 17th.

Last year Sodium waltzed through the U14 age bracket to take home the hardware in dominating fashion. This year the girls are placed in the high school division to test their metal against some of Oregon's talented high school players.

Head South to watch the excitement at the Truax Center and remember...........

GO SDOIUM!!!!

High School Update

Last night the Jesuit Crusader girls varsity soccer team won the Oregon State Championship with a win over the Westview Wildcats.

Congratulations Crusader Girls!

Futsal - an interesting game

The lady warriors embarked on a new venture this evening a Tualatin Indoor Soccer complex, Futsal.

Smaller field (half a regular indoor field), smaller goals, smaller defalted ball, no throw ins or goalie kicks but all kinds of fast paced, high scoring ACTION! 

There are 4 players and a goalie on the field. You only have a slpit second to make a decision, pass or shoot, sprint or drop. It is pretty wild and I recommend that if you haven't ever watched a futsal game (2 x 22 minute halfs with a 1 minute half-time), you come watch Sodium this season. It is pure enjoyment. The girls get a great work out and a chance to work on footskills like never before.

Tonights recap
Sodium split into two teams for the first game, black & green. They played each other to get a good feel for the game.

The second game, it turns out, was played against a hand-picked elite team of ODP, id2 players ranging from '94 to '97 with two local high school varsity players from powerhouse Westview.
The lady warriors came out of the box HOT! At one point they were up as many as 4 goals and we thought the route was on. Sodium had them on their heels as they pressured every inbounds and golie touch which created multiple opportunities. New comers Charelene and Easton from WSA fit right into the Sodium mentality of hard driving physical play as they contributed several goals to the cause. Welcome ladies, I think you will like it here.
But, because they are new to the sport, Sodium may have flamed a little early because the select team came inching back and took a two goal lead late. Just as the buzzer was on the verge of blowing, Charlene put an exclamation point on the evening as she rocketed a shot past the keeper as the game ended and Sodium walked with a 10-9 loss. No need to feel bad about this ladies warriors, for the first time out, you did GREAT!!

See you all Sunday.

GO SODIUM!!

A Special Thanks to Jill Farley

On behalf of the Sodium team, parents, coaches and fans I would like to extend a sincere "THANK YOU" to Jill Farley and family for playing with us this fall season.

Not only is Jill an incredible force on the field, but her warm personality and bright vibrant smile remind us all why we are out here, to watch our baby girls grow up. (And kick some butt! LOL!)

Thanks Jill, you are always welcome on our roster and we wish you the best of luck in the coming seasons with Ireland.

See you on the pitch!

GO JILL!!
