OPL Action Week Four

Saturday Sodium faced WSM Elite at PCC Rock Creek. We had anticipated a physical battle and WSM did not disappoint.
After a slow start where Sodium tested the water of just how play was to flow, Dani Brown broke loose around 19 yards out and ripped the far post to give Sodium a 1-0 lead. Minutes later Julie Hairston dropped a perfect lead pass to a charging Dani Brown who again ripped the net for a 2-0 Sodium lead. Was Mrs. Brown done? Oh I think not! Just before half Sodium was awarded a free kick around the 25 yard mark. Dani Brown, noticing the WSM keeper was lining the defenders up to her left but was leaving the right side post unattended, Fired a beauty just under the cross bar for a hat-trick and a 3-0 Sodium advantage.
After the break the girls kept up the relentless pressure. The WSM keeper made several outstanding plays to keep her team in the hunt. With 10 minutes left in the match Aliyah Chance drove the ball hard to goal where she was fouled in the WSM box. The resulting PK was eyeballed by a confident Jadyn McMillan who found the right corner of the net for the fourth and final goal.

Sunday’s match pitted Sodium against PCU Impact Red.
I had documented all the action throughout the game but unfortunately the app froze and I couldn’t recover it. So, with the help of Keith, Molly and Ryan, here’s the highlights;

Julie Hairston starts the game off to make it 1-0. This was followed by Dani Brown to make it 2-0. Easton Kawawaki drove the ball deep down the left side and found Mac Kearney in the box to make it 3-0. After the half it was Dani Brown again for a 4-0 advantage. Late in the game the sisters, Maddie and Julie Hairston teamed for the final goal to make it 5-0. I remember them all being so exciting but since I lost it all, you’ll have to settle for this.

Stay tuned for Vegas updates!
