Sodium Roars Through Second Day!

The lady warriors kept the first day momentum alive as they pounded the SSC Elite 95 team from Spokane 4-1 early Sunday morning.
Scoring was initiated early as Jadyn McMillan drove deep into Elite territory and lofted a chip shot over the Elite keeper. Mac Kearney was there in the net to ensure the goal and give Sodium a 1-0 lead! Late in the half Mac drove down the right side, ripped a cross that was deflected to Dani Brown who one touched to an awaiting Jadyn in front of the net for a 2-0 Sodium lead! With under a minute to go, Elite mounted an attack of their own and capitalized on a momentary Sodium lapse to post a 2-1 half time score.
The second half was battle in the making as the Elite came out with a vengeance. Midfielders and defenders were the key on both squads as play went back and forth. Midway through Taylor Moscoe, from her right defender spot, drove to near midfield before and launched a perfect long-ball over the defenders to lead KJ to a one touch rip of the net and a 3-0 lead! The crowed, who was holding their breath on the past, burst out with a loud cheer heard round the park!
Not be outdone by her teammate, Erika Cook, from her midfield spot, drove clear to the 18-yard box before threading the needle between defenders and finding a sliding Aliyah Chance for the fourth and final Sodium goal!
The girls are playing really good ball right now. They are communicating well, passing is crisp and they are showing a great deal of patience in the 'Red Zone' just outside the 18-yard box. Every position is trapping, looking, passing and communicating throughout the entire game. Fun to watch and even more fun to cheer for!
