We noticed when we got the schedule this year that three out of the four teams we played last year were on it, though of course there'd be no guarantee that the same girls would be on those teams. First up were the Flying Beavers, the team we beat 3-0 last year. Of course I missed this game due to all my flight troubles (see previous entry and a whole string of entries on avocado8), but Michele and Leslie gave me the updates.
Michele said that the two teams were pretty evenly matched, although the final score, 3-0 us, didn't really reflect that. (Funny, we won 3-0 last year as well, and I had the same impression, that we were evenly matched.) Shawna scored a goal on a breakaway, and Lolly and Rachel each had one as well. Michele said the team played pretty well together, which is nice. It's also nice to win the first game of the tournament—it helps you feel competent and confident about winning again.
