Yours truly is somewhat writing impaired this week, but there are photos!
Swaggering Cougar overheard at check-in: “We should have just called in this game.” Apparently several of their players had such confidence, and did not bother to show up. They started with 9
and soon had 10. Tsunami had three subs.
The first half saw Tsunami dominating, but neither team scored.
During the second half, Tsunami had the downhill advantage and Suzanne’s hot foot. Tsunami’s defense was fierce, as well—no Cougar went unchallenged,and Sammi stopped all their shots. Suzanne scored from the edge of the box early in the half. Then she scored from closer in, rocketing a drone plane that weaved through a half dozen defenders before landing in the lower left corner:
Leslie put in the third and final goal with her head. Someone (Suzanne again?) had sent a ball that was going to just graze the far post, but Leslie speared it and sent it into the net.
Cougar Express had planned to take home the “champion” shirts. Their rough play intensified as the second half progressed and victory slipped further from their grasp. Tsunami went home victorious, but bruised—I don’t think they spared anyone.
