Welcome to the WWF!

Wow, I never thought at this age level that I would see a game like we had Tuesday night against OSA Inferno. These girls were big and not afraid to throw down! Literally within the first 3 minutes an OSA forward leveled our middle defender. She wasn't going for the ball in any way. It was a knee driven into the thigh and a hip-check as Taylor brought the ball to her right. The whistle blew, yes. But a card should have been drawn. This particular player racked up at least 3 whistles herself. Unbelievable. Couple that with one of the worst officiated games I have seen all year (and yes, it was bad for both sides) and I am really surprised no one got seriously hurt.
The scoring was highlighted by Emmy Owens splitting the defenders and easily beating the Inferno keeper to put the Sodium squad up for good 1-0.
I thought it was going to be more when Jadyn McMillan had a clean break in the box but was taken out from behind by an OSA defender. No whistle. The crowed went nuts!
I will say I owe the fans around me an apology because that is when I had had enough and told the ref I thought he was horrible. I apologized to most people around me but if you were in earshot, sorry. I will say though, I stand behind my assessment of the officiating. Turns out that coach Tom has had numerous (over 60) emails regarding how poor the officiating has been. AND it turns out, this was the same official that oversaw the SSC Hotspur vs ESUFC Arsenal game that had all kinds of controversy. I will stand by my assessment.

So, here is how it shakes out:

Bracket "A"
LOSC has 18 points (4 goals for, 0 against) plays OSA Inferno Friday night. Regardless of outcome #1 spot.
THUSC Sodium has 18 points (6 goals for, 1 against) no games left. Takes Spot #2


Bracket "B"
ESUFC Arsenal has 22 points (5 goals for, 1 against) and takes #1 spot. No games left.
EMFC Magic and SSC Hotspur are tied all across the board. The winner will take spot #2.

Next weekend; (unofficial)
Semi Finals
LOSC Extreme vs. Bracket "B" #2 11/15 @ 10:30AM REC Field #1
ESUFC Arsenal vs. THUSC Sodium 11/15 @ 10:30AM REC Field #2

Championship
Winners of above games 11/15 @ 6:00PM REC #1

So, from a very competitive standpoint, I would love to meet LOSC in the Championship for another epic battle!!

But, we'll see what happens!

GO SODIUM!!
