OPL Action Recap

Since Vegas Sodium has had only 3 matches. Below are the recaps;

March 4th vs ESUFC Arsenal - 1-1 tie
The only blemish on Sodium's bid for OPL League Champion came against Arsenal. Emmy Owens put a great move on the ESUFC keeper to open the match. Before half Arsenal scored a rare goal again the sure fire Sodium defense to even the match. Sodium was unable to capitalize on numerous second half attempts and score stood at 1 apiece.

March 10th vs OSSA White - 9-0 win
The onslaught started just after the opening whistle as Julie Hairston drove down the left side and ripped a cross to Aliyah Chance for the finish. Next up Aliyah Chance dish to Jadyn McMillan, 2-0. On a corner kick midway through the first Aliyah Chance tapped to Jadyn McMillan who drove towards goal and ripped a shot passed Taylor Coon who was screening the defense. The shot hit the net inside the far post for a 3-0 lead. Aliyah Chance again fed a charging Dani Brown who sliced the keeper and found the net for a 4-0 tally. Just before half, defender Taylor Coon powered a long lead ball upfield to Julie Hairston who faked the keeper and brought the halftime score to 5-0.
The second half opened with Easton Kawawaki's long lead pass down the left side that found Dani Brown streaking to goal. Dani finished in the upper corner for a 6-0 tally. Next, McKayla Creamer charged into the 6 yard box and pounded a shot off the keeper where an alert Mac Kearney was there for the finish a 7-0 lead. Late in the second Aliyah Chance found herself in the 18 where she found an attacking Willy Williamson open and ready to finish. 8-0. And lastly, Dani Brown took another perfect pass from fellow forward Julie Hairston and sliced into goal for the 9th and final score.

March 11th vs RVSC Power Strikers - 4-0 win
Welcome to the Dani Brown show! Within the first 15 minutes of the contest Dani had taken perfectly placed passes from Julie Hairston and Emmy Owens and made them count as she rattled off 3 consecutive goals! The 3-0 halftime score was shattered late in the match when, on a great corner kick from Aliyah Chance, a crashing Taylor Luty (what?) directed an exquisit header past the diving RVSC keeper!! The wet and frozen crowed erupted as fist pumping on the field and high fives in the stands spread like wild fire! Scored ended 4-0.

The team is really playing well and will need to bring their "A" game for sure on Sunday, March 17th. as they face the top of the bracket OSSA 95 Blue at 2:30pm at Lake Oswego High School. Come out and enjoy the action!
