Saturday brought a glorious day for playing soccer and Sage's Sudbury Stars brought their best. The team survived a sluggish start to beat the Acton Boxboro United 2-1. Sage started the game as mid-fielder and then swapped to right wing when she began to tire. Her squad scored first on a penalty kick. Sage then finished the first half by scoring on a loose ball in front of the net. She drilled the kick so hard, it almost went over the goal. The picture above shows the goal scoring celebration. Sage still has some of the best moves on the dance floor.

With the team ahead 2-0, Sage's coach moved her to defense. She played hard in the second half. One of her kicks went almost half the field on the fly. Acton pressured the Star's defense time and time again in the second half, but Sage held her ground and the team escaped with the 2-1 win.

The win moves them to first place in their division. They are now the only undefeated team and they have a goal differential of +7. Next week they are back on the road playing in Sherborn.
Sage had a huge fan club for this game. Wendy and Wally came in from PA. Joy, Justin and Hutch drove up from NJ. Even Beth, Tom and Jess were able to make it. Thanks to everyone who came and cheered the team to victory.
