MPPS VS. ST PAUL OF THE APOSTLE

Mixed Soccer
Today, the MPPS soccer team stepped up to their 4th match of the season, eager to face off. Looking at the opponents, we knew that today’s game was going to be our hardest game this season. The kick-off whistle sounded, and it was a game of wills. Both teams were equally matched up in terms of ability, making both teams rely on tactics. Although we made some flaws, we were still able to recover possession by working together smoothly. We made another fantastic win, the scores being 3-1. We now have three games to go, and we all are pretty confident on what is to come.

The morning was cold, our bodies were stiff as we stepped onto the field. “Let's warm up, girls!” I requested as we all stood around in a circle kicking the ball to each other. St Pauls arrived fast, I asked the girls to get in their positions and we started the game. About 15 minutes in, Aarna scored a fantastic goal as we all started to cheer “Go Aarna” “Yes! You did it Aarna” After Aarnas score St Pauls made the game intense. We had trouble trying to get the ball, and before we knew it they kicked an amazing shot! No one scored after that, so the scores were 1-1 tied.
We had a great game and an amazing time. Great game girls!
