Championship Weekend

After posting impressive wins in the 2013 State Cup play offs, Sodium will take on cross town rivals OSSA Blue for the Oregon Sate Cup Championship on Saturday at 12:30pm at THPRD Field #4.

Sodium has met OSSA in several championship matchs in the past. But this year, as in others, if all are healthy, Sodium has the advantage.

The Sodium squad has posted many tournament championships this year. Has many players committed, or near committed, to several D1, D2 or D3 schools. They are riding high after winning winter OPL league.

If the ladies take the pitch with the attitude and swagger of the championship team they are, there is not a team in Oregon that can match them. This could easily be your last time to prove just how good you are. This could easily be the last Championship match you all play together. This could easily be Sodiums last great Hoorah before these warriors move on to the next the next level, the next chapter, of their lives. How will the the last paragraph be written Sodium? How will the last 'T' be crossed, the last 'i' be dotted? What legacy will you leave behind for other THUSC teams to follow?

It is all up to you now......


From deep in our hearts, as we always have, we believe in you.     GO SODIUM!!

Final league games

Saturday against OSSA White seemed to be a scoring fest. I was not there personally and the poor people who were trying to send me updates finally just said "I think it's 7..." So, great job ladies! Sunday against EMFC was a very exciting match with Sodium remaining undefeated behind the sure booted Laura Camp who knotted the score with a rocket inside the far post on a set piece. Late in the match Willy Williamson solidified Sodiums spot on top when she ripped the far net with a blast from 20 yards out. Great effort from those on the pitch!

OPL Winter League Standings:
1. THUSC
2. OSSA Blue
3. FC Portland
4. EMFC
5. PCU Impact
6. OSSA White

NOTES:
Looks like both Sodium and Onyx swept through league undefeated this year. 
As we gear up towards USYS Premier League National Tournament, Surf Cup, United Cup, Spain and others, please watch your inboxes for updates and info requests from Caryn and Paul and make every effort to get them the info in a timely manner so they can move the process forward. Thanks!

Muffled behind the umbrellas blocking the sideways rain at Lane CC the Sodium faithful yell: GO SODIUM!!

State Cup 2013 Schedule

IT'S STATE CUP TIME!!

Below is Sodium's schedule. I expect everyone who can make it to be there cheering the girls on to victory! Those who can't, send some good mojo to the girls!

Saturday 4/13/13 @ 1:00pm - REC #1
vs FC Portland Navy - Last meeting between these two saw Sodium post a 3-0 win. Keep up the pressure, play your game, and take home a 'W'.

Sunday 4/14/13 @ 1:00pm - PCC Rock Creek West
vs Eastside Timbers 95 Red - Sodium hasn't faced an Eastside team in a long time. All I can say is play 'Sodium Style' for 90 minutes, make adjustments where necessary and score early & often!

Saturday 4/20/13 - Bye Week

Sunday 4/21/13 @ 3:00pm - Buckman Field
vs PCU Impact Red - Last time we played this team they lead 1-0 at half before Sodium woke up and scored 6 unanswered goals in the second half. Let's come out hot this game and book this one early.

From the sidelines of newly turfed Rec #1 the fans will screaaaaaaaaammm: GO SODIUM!!!
