The Menchie Sprinkles had their first game of the end of season tournament on Tuesday night. They were playing against the Kickin' Cuties, a team they were playing for the third time in a row! The two teams were fairly evenly matched, and this was witnessed in the 1-1 tie score at the end of regulation. Two overtime periods quickly passed with both teams locked into a draw. The next step was penalty kicks....5 rounds of kicks later the two teams were still tied. Next came sudden death penalty kicks. The 5 girls for each team that had already kicked couldn't kick again. The girl for the Kickin' Cuties kicked first and missed.
Then came Lily....that girl just amazes us sometimes. She was lined up off center to the point that I was afraid she was going to strike with her left foot! It turns out she knew exactly was she was doing...she had been lining it up for the corner of the goal. And she gave it a clean strike that sent the ball high into the corner of the net. It was a thing of beauty....a walk off goal. Here she is just after.
