he last game of the Fall BAYS season was Sunday. It was supposed to be Saturday, but of course it rained (again). In fact, it rained so much that the field was still soaked when the match started. One corner actually had a puddle!
The first half was very competitive and the two teams played to a 0-0 tied on the slow field. Sage anchored the defense and shut down every run that came at her.
She was moved to forward for the second half. It was a move that paid dividends quickly. Sage took the ball just over mid-field and dribbled it towards the goal. She was tackled just outside the goalie box by an aggressive defender. Sage drilled the direct kick over the wall and curled it into the left corner of the net. Goalie never had a chance. (This was her second 'Beckham' like moment of the week as she also converted a direct kick Thursday night in indoor soccer)
Now with the game at 1-0, Sage stole the ball at midfield. She faked past one defender and then lofted a pass to her teammate who blasted past the goalie for the final goal.
The BLAST finished the year winning 4 of the last 5 for a final record of 7-3. Sage is pictured here with her new BLAST trophy, which is a replica of the World Cup trophy.
