So, soccer season, hey now.
Beginning of the season, the first four or so games, I played not so well, and got very frustrated. But then I decided to kick it into gear. What better team to do so that the team that broke my nose freshman year? It was the sweet because it was POURING rain. The Field Hockey team is a bunch of pansies so their game got delayed, but we played on. I literally fell face-first into a puddle deep enough to get entirely into. BEST GAME EVER. Partly because, hooray, I scored two goals, neither of which were very eventful but I was happy to notch them. Wet fields means that a simple move send the defender sliding over 10 feet, and I took advantage of that.
I finally got my vengeance for the broken nose, sort of. I no longer have to tell obscure teams, such as girl's tennis, to serve it into their face.
Next game, I recorded my first career hat trick, and, in the span of two games, sextupled my career goal total. At the moment, I'm tied for leading scorer with five on the year.
(We just played another game. I got zero, but we won 5-1, but we played really shitty. And I got punched accidentally in the chest by the goalie to earn a PK, which I didnt take.)
We had a 3v3 indoor tournament in the gym with four teams. My team was called Average Joe's, and we had the star midfielder. Another player named his team after a hot freshman girl.
We started off 0-3-1, and then our star left. So we drafted a senior who just started playing soccer. It looked like our team was down for the count. Then we start picking it up and finish the regular season with a win and a tie. Going into the semifinals as the #4 seed, we stood hard and upset the #1 seed. Now we really knew it was game time. The stage was set for the finals, and after minutes of deadlocked 1-1 play, we decide to go to PKs, as it was intense and we wanted to go home. We both go one-for-three, but then the other team misses their PK. My teammate Sam had to put the ball in for is to win. As our final PK slowly rolled across the gym, I was on edge. It rolled into the corner of the net! WE PULLED A MIRACLE AND WON THE TOURNAMENT OUT OF NOWHERE! It was amazing! The upset of the century!
Woo!
Congrats.
SOCKS!
