Ryan, I have to agree with you that Coach Burriss has done a great job with this team. I wondered how they would be without Hannah and I agree with you that this year's team is better than last year's in that these girls play very physical and very disciplined. Their passing is better and their spacing is excellent. I thought both teams played with a great sense of urgency and while we feel very fortunate to win, we know round two at Wren is coming...

at TL Hanna
#9 TL Hanna 3
#5 Wren 2 PKs
Score was tied 1-1 at halftime. TL Hanna scored from a shot about 25yds out at the 55' mark. Beautiful, high shot from the corner. Wren answered with a similar shot from similar distance at the 79' mark to take the match into overtime. The atmosphere was electric in the final minutes (there was some stoppage time due to injury).
Overtime was even, and TL Hanna made 4pks to Wren's 3 to take a hardfought, Region I win between to top 10 squads.
It was a very fast, physical match. Wren is much improved from their '08 squad, and both teams deserve to stay in top 10 at weeks end!
