Update from Redmond
After a disappointing loss to OSSA in the OPL State Cup the lady warriors brushed themselves off and hit the pitch at the Showcase of Champions in Redmond Washington.
Although Sodium was only able to field 9 players on Friday, they called on the few of their 'little sisters' to step up and face the challenge. Maddie, Bree and Payton from Iridium (U14) jumped in to bring the total to 12 players.
The Friday after game pitted Sodium against WPFC '95 ECNL. Play started of with a bang as Elly Williams drove the ball from her left outside defender position clear into the 18 yard box and her shot was just wide. This single breathed life into a Sodium squad that was a little deflated due to only 4 players playing their normal position. Sodium held off a few WPFC attacks and mounted several of their own as Dani Brown, Maddie Hairston, Eli Beard and Payton lead the charge. Just before half WPFC found the net as Sodium's defense was still sorting out their communication.
The second half was more of the same. Kylee Coon did a great job in goal as she made several saves to keep the score close. Midway through defender Taylor Coon brought the ball up to the midfield stripe, saw the WPFC keeper pulled to the top of the box and let rip a long range shot that the keeper got just enough finger tips on to deflect it off the bottom of the cross bar. New life again for the Sodium squad. Late in the contest a ball came high into the box where Kylee lept up and punched out. A whistle blew and the WPFC player was given a PK. No explanation was given as both sets of bleachers looked on stunned. Despite Kylee's great effort the PK was successful and the score remained 2-0 until the final whistle.

OPL State Cup
The girls have really had a great run this season thus far. Winning Surf Cup, winning the Vegas Invitational, placing high in both leagues.
Saturday they play for the OPL State Cup Championship at 2pm at THPRD Field #2. The stage is set for them OSSA Blue, a team we have met often and match up well with. It will be a battle for sure. Field #2 is where OSSA took the trophy from your grasp your U15 season. time for a little payback.
To win would mean Sodium's fourth state Championship trophy. This amazing feat has only been accomplished by a small elite group of teams in Oregon.
We wish them all the luck we can muster as they take the field Saturday.
We are so proud of you Sodium.
Let's take it all on Saturday. Team on 3...
Between margarita's on Cinco de Mayo your fans will scream; GO SODIUM!!!
