Sodium advances to Mustang Semi's

Sodium handed their Eastern Oregon rivals a 2-0 defeat in the quarterfinal match of Mustang Stampede last night. After an hour delay in starting the game the Sodium squad came out fired up to prove a point. Early in the match Lexi delivered a corner kick that Emmy tried to finish. The deflection found Easton in the box and a 1-0 Sodium lead! That score held through half time.
The second half found Sodium with several free kick attempts. Late in the second half Lexi lined up her third attempt from about 22 yards out. On the sidelines the fans were hoping she would go for the net because it was well within her range. Lexi lined it up, let it rip and the ball sailed past the keeper into the upper far post net! The fans went wild! The lady warriors smelled a victory and for the last 5+ minutes produced a relentless attack on the Rush goal. Time ran out and place went wild!

On the lower field NW Nationals (WA) were giving Mustang Fury (Far West Regional Champions) all the could handle. In PK's the Nationals pulled out a victory and will meet Sodium in the SemiFinals this morning at 9:30am.

It has been a great journey and it's about to get even better! 4 down, 2 to go!

Never back down. Never give in. Never lose faith.

with voices horse from yelling, the Sodium faithful scream: GO SODIUM!!
