The End of a Great Season

Jenna's soccer season ended last weekend with an exciting run through the city-sectional playoffs. Her team, Grease Lightening, which went 8-0-1 through the regular season, then 3-1 in the region 4 playoffs, had advanced to the city playoffs where they went 3-0 on Saturday, beating Simi Valley (3-0), Moorpark (4-0) and Malibu (1-0). On Sunday, they ended up losing to a very beatable Newbury Park team (2-1) as their best player and scoring threat was very ill at home.

It was disappointing to get that close to the city championship and then not to have our whole team present. But it was a great season for the team and for Jenna; she scored a number of goals but made her best contributions at midfield, where her superior conditioning enabled her to run hard all game. Way to go Jenna and Grease Lightening!
