Thanks CJ. Lots of tears to dry... I'm still somewhat emotional myself, but in a good way. These 110 minutes plus Pk's were a very nice advertising campaign for the beautiful game. Fantastic atmosphere in the stands and an exciting game on the pitch. (e.g. crossbar shot by Eastside in first half, then Mollie Waters' ball moving to cross EHS' goalline but #22 just in time scratching it off the line.) Great evenly matched competition. We need more games like this... although it's still a tough way to lose.
I loved hearing comments from first time soccer watchers like "Wow, only $6 admission for such a show. I think I'll watch more soccer now" or "Don't you have club tryouts for U-15 tomorrow? I want to come."
I could not be more proud of my Lady Raiders and we wish the Lady Eagles all the best this Friday. Represent the Upstate and the beautiful game again well!

Cruel ending. Hats off to both teams, and a good job by both coaches.
