Despite the tough loss, there were some strong individual efforts this afternoon.
Game Balls:
Judah: You brought intensity and focus to today's game. This is what we are aiming for. You were determined to win loose balls, and even on the sideline you maintained a sharp focus. Keep up the excellent work.
Clemente: Your skills are improving with each game. Today I noticed more agile footwork and a better sense of the field. You also stepped to a loose ball and beat the Veritas midfielder to it.
Charlie: During these initial games, Coach Connors and I are getting a sense of the best way to position the players. Charlie, you showed considerable promise at center defense, supporting your fellow defenders and steering the action away from goal. We look forward to continuing to work with you -- and the entire team -- on defensive tactics.
