The time is now

Today you take the field against the defending State Champion, a position you held proudly for 2 years. As with any match when we face LOSC it will be a battle. A hard fought, physical and emotional war. The time is now for players to put aside their illness, their injuries, their differences and unite. The time is now to take what you've been taught, to remember the work you've done, the sacrifices you made, and come together as a team, Sodium. When you do that, no other team can hold a candle to you. When every player is giving it her all, leaving everything she has on the field, you are untouchable.
For 70 minutes this afternoon, in the rain and cold, you will be called upon by your coach, your fans and your teammates to just that.
Who will be the hero today? Who will rise above the rest to lead the team into battle? The defense? The midfield? The forwards? All are capable, all posses the tools, the skills & the attitude.
It's what's inside that will determine the hero today. Who wants it more. Who is willing to lay it all on the line. Who is willing to leave everything on the field of play. That is who will emerge the hero.

Is that you?

From the cold aluminum stands at PCC Rock Creek the Sodium faithful scream; GO SODIUM!
