Day 8 & 9 - August 6-7, 2006

Day 8 and 9:

Sorry I didn't get to write last night. We were hanging out in the hotel
lobby and some of our friends from the Minnesota Stars came over. By the time the hotel manager told us to quiet down, it was about 11:30 and we had to get some sleep.

We lost 3 games again yesterday, but we did play well.

We had the Stars on the ropes a little and we lost in the last minute to Michigan.

One day we'll have the continuity that these teams have. That all starts with recruiting back home and we are really going to work on that this year.

Today is the final day of the tournament and we played for 5th place this morning at 10:30.

We actually won it!!!!!

We played great defense and squeaked out with a 1-0 win. This was our first international win and I did keep the game ball for our "hall of fame".

We are about to leave to watch the championship game.

It is going to be a USA/Canada final with the Minnesota Stars playing either the Toronto Rock or the Calgary Selects.

Then we'll have a wrap up party afterwards and that is why I am writing now.

It will probably be a long night.

Thanks again for all your support. We had a great time and it such a great feeling to finally get that win :).
