Far West Regionals Round Up

For 69 minutes and 30 seconds Sodium was the better team. From the opening whistle and for the first 30 seconds, NV Neusport was better, and scored.

The heat sweltering, the battle epic. Sodium pushed and pushed but could not come up with the equalizer. What a match, easily the best of the tournament, probably the best of the year. The 9th ranked (Nationally) NV Neusport squad was big, fast, physical and a powerhouse. These girls were the toughest team we have faced and the girls responded without blinking an eye. Their offense was vicious, our defense answered the call admirably. Their defense was tenacious, the Sodium offense countered with attacks from assorted forwards and midfielders. In the end, defense will get you where you need to be, but offense needs to put in the final nail.

The final whistle was met with tears of frustration and disappointment. The girls knew the outcome could have, should have, been different.

Do not hang your heads Sodium! You accomplished great things this season and have paved the road for successful seasons to come. Keep in mind all the great memories you have made, all the friendships you have bonded this year. And think of the new horizons that lay ahead with high school teams and U15 Sodium this summer. You have the world by the tail and we are so very proud of each and every one of you and all you have accomplished this year.

Neon set the bar high, now its your turn to clear it.....

From the hotel lobby in Albuquerque NM, we yell; GO SODIUM!!
