Rachel Wins at St. George Tournament

Last weekend was the Icebreakers Soccer Tournament in St. George.  I took Rachel down along with another player and her mom.  Rachel had 2 games on Saturday and then 1 game on Monday.  I decided to only stay for Saturday and another player who couldn't play on Saturday would go down on Monday to play in that game.  So off we went with 1 days worth of clothes.

Then Rachel's team won both games on Saturday (Rachel scored 2 goals).  Rachel was elated and really wanted to stay for the Monday game because if they won, they would play in the finals on Monday afternoon.  So, we all went shopping for a dress since we didn't bring any church clothes and we went to church on Sunday and then Rachel got to play on Monday,

Rachel's team won 1-0 with Rachel making the goal.  They would move on to the finals!!

The final game ended with a score of 0-0.  Oh my goodness.  They went into sudden death overtime which means the first goal wins.  RACHEL SCORED THE FIRST GOAL AND THEIR TEAM WON!!!!   One of the most exciting games I've watched in a long time.  Below is a pictured of Rachel's very happy face.  I wish I had gotten pictures of her just after the goal.  She was so happy and her whole team ran to her and they were all hugging and cheering.  Quite exciting!  Good Job Rachel.
