Paige and Sophia FTW!

Paige and Sophia had their 2nd game of the year and then came out on top 1-0 with Paige scoring the only goal of the match. They had a later game and it was SUPER hot, like low 90's and high humidity. There's zero shade at the fields too, so they were really suffering.

Soph gets in and mixes it up.


Paige was dribbling through the entire field for the first 2 quarters. Here is on of her early shots. Unlike Em, this age group has tiny goals. So Paige had a tough time getting on by the goalie early on.


There were a lot of pictures like this... Paige controlling the ball with no one while the other team looked on helplessly!


Soph had a great game this week. She paid attention and you can see here she's coming back to help her sister out.


The sisters ready to play some D


Yep... Paige on another breakaway.


And taking another shot at the tiny goal.


Great form on the throw-in. It's crazy to me how many of the teams ignore basic soccer skills like this and the kids have no idea what to do.


Some more sisterly team work.


Okay, so it was so hot that by the 4th quarter some of the kids were refusing to play. So Paige wasn't feeling great but agreed to play in goal. Then she was dry-heaving through the end of the game because it was so hot she was getting nauseous. Nice!


Eye of the TIGER!


The sisters leading the pack.


More of the same. If "the same" is TOTAL DOMINATION!


Soph showing her skills.
