NWCL Weekend Scouting Report

This weekend looks like some pretty good soccer for the ladies of Sodium. The U17 South group consists of Sodium, FC Portland, EMFC and OSSA Blue. All the old favorites from years past. Being very familiar with all the Oregon teams, let's take a look at the Washington teams we will face.

THUSC Sodium - Ranked 1st in Oregon, 27th in Region IV, 84th Nationally.

12/15 at 11:00am.
Coquitlam Metro Ford. I can not find anything on this team. I believe it is a combined team from the 2 U17G teams. Other than that, nothing.

12/15 at 5:00pm
Crossfire Premier 95 ECNL - Ranked 4th in Washington, 71st in Region IV, 233rd Nationally

12/16 at 12:30pm
Soccer Edge Academy G95 Black - Ranked 3rd in Washington, 43rd in Region IV, 138 Nationally

NOTES:
Looks like the competition level will rise with every match. Although the teams we played at Final 4 were collectively ranked higher at #15(IV) & #40, #31(IV) & #88 and #75(IV) & 264. So I believe Sodium will hold their own and should come away with a pretty clean slate this weekend if they can play close to where they were in San Diego.

GO SODIUM!!!

Final 4 Roundup

vs Valley United Sc (CAS)

Elianna Beard started things off with the opening goal at about the 20 minute mark. Eli's score was followed by Laura Camp who rocketed a feed from Julianna Hairston from the 30 yards to make it 2-0. Taylor Coon got a little over aggressive and Valley United was awarded a PK which brought the tally to 2-1 at half.
Midway through the second Valley found the net again which knotted the game at 2, which would inevitably be the final.

vs Albuquerque United FC (NM)

After a scoreless first half the girls came alive against New Mexico. Easton Kawawaki to a feed from Taylor Coon and worked her magic up the middle finding the upper corner of the frame for a 1-0 Sodium advantage. Julianna Hairston followed suit to give Sodium a 2-0 lead. NM answered with a goal of their own to bring them to within 1. Dani Brown would have none of it as she beats the NM keeper for a 3-1 lead. Were they happy with a 3-1 lead? Heck no! Easton Kawawaki finds newcomer Sydney Van Steenberge for her inaugural Sodium goal to cap the 4-1 Showcase win. The win put the girls on top of their perspective bracket.
