Weeks 13-16 update

So, again, it's been awhile since I've updated this site. I've played 18 games in the last 4 weeks, so an average of 4 1/2 games a week. That seems like a lot doesn't it? Anyway, in the first 12 weeks I had played 39 games, and scored 51 goals, for an average of 1.3 goals per game. In the last 4 weeks I've scored 15 goals bringing my per game goal average to 0.83 goals per game...shoot!

I did hit a dry spell about a week ago going 6 games with only scoring 1 goal. But that streak ended with our final game in a tournament in Tulsa. My women's outdoor team travels to Tulsa every 3rd weekend in October to compete in the Soktoberfest tournament. It's always a great time! Last year we lost in the finals in double overtime to a bunch of 18 year olds (I'm 33) so we worked our butts off that weekend. This year I was concerned, would I be a hinderance to my team since I'm still recovering from my ACL surgery? Would I even be any help at all? Well, this final game eased my fears and ended my dry spell. We won the game 4-0 and I scored 3 of the 4 goals. I was so surprised and happy. Annette provided 2 GREAT assists and I had a wonderful through ball from Ashley putting me 1 on 1 with the keeper for the 3rd goal. I wasn't able to contribute as much as I did last year, but I wasn't hurting us too much either. So, all and all, it was a great tournament.

I also have now played 2 games in the men's middle division on Monday night. It's a team I started with all girls to play against the guys. Many of us girls have left the team and it's pretty much all guys. When I hurt my knee I had Joe take the team over for me, with the promise that I would return after I recovered. I started playing in the women's division and now I'm working my way back into the men's division again. Oooooo, I'm so exicted! Though the last game I played I almost puked from running to much!

Goal Count
66 goals = 33% complete
Dave's deployment is 31% complete
I'm still ahead, by 4 goals now. I need more though!
