The score looks more lopsided than the game actually was. We scored on a PK and benefitted from a half own-goal. 4-0 would have been a better representation of the BR Tigers' valiant effort. Nice work Coach Rollie and best wishes to Marissa for a speedy recovery from her earlier MCL-injury.



Greenville was obviously the better team. Our striker/leading scorer hurt her MCL fairly severely on the same knee that she tore her ACL last year. Hurt it last week with 5 minutes left in our last practice before playoffs. Played only 13 minutes Monday, then played until 3-0 yesterday. Pretty gutsy performance by a great young lady.

Coach Raimond - beautiful strategic goal (first) followed by a beautiful shot into the upper 3". Then, I would say we stunk: 3rd - handball/PK, 4th-6th - meltdown by a second string goalie who just acted like a kid. Same kid separated her shoulder last week. More importantly, made a 92 in biology which she was flunking four weeks ago. She brought her report card to the game to show us. Forgot her A game. Oh, well.

Wonderfully coached side, Raimond. Kids love you, and I can see why. You honor soccer.

Retired, Old, Happy, and off into the sunset
