Last weekend my soccer team participted in the Iowa Indoor state tournament and won! We went 5-0 for the whole tournament.
Our first game was against Vision Soccer Academy we started pretty slow but picked up as the game went on, we went ahead twice but both times VSA socred to tie the game. With very little time left our keeper Ian McDonald kicked the ball forward and in a series of strange happenings the ball ended up in the back of the net! We won the game 3-2
Our second game was against Iowa Soccer Club U15 which means that they were a year younger than us, we pretty much had our way with them and won the game 7-0, it was a good game all around for the team.
Our third game was agains Ceder Rapids Soccer Association U15 again, they were a year younger. We started the game as if we were still asleep and CRSA went up 2-0. The combination of that and some fresh subs, we quickly woke up and went on to win the game 5-2. Which advanced us into the semifinals of the tournament!
The semifinals were played against the CRSA team our age. They are always able to give us a good game, but they didn't have their star player today who is ranked one of the best U16 players in the state of Iowa. Despite the fact the game was tied 1-1 at the end of the game so we went to a penalty shootout. Our first to shooters made their shots and then Ian made a save, I was the third shooter so if I made my shot we won the game. I placed it in the back of the net and we were on to the finals!
In the finals we again started really slow and went down 2-0, Then Nick Raley socred 3 straight goals to take us into the lead! We would go on to win the game 6-4 and win the tournament!
Overall it was a great tournament for the whole team and it was great to come out on top!
