The Game That Decides Regionals

This was a very important game for us against Rockville MC. Rockville have been our rivals for years and this was the game we had to prove ourselves and play our hardest. This game is what we worked all season for and it was very important. This game was our last real game of the season and it decided which team of ours would go to regionals. During this game, our injured players got doctors notes so that they would be able to play this one last game. Everyone gave it their all this game and played their hearts out. During the first half on of our injured players, Stephanie Zaycer scored a long shot from far left field. We kept the score 1-0 the whole first half HCC with the win. In the second half, Rockville tied 1-1. Both teams played there hardest and with 20 minutes left, Rockville scored again. This made the game 2-1 Rockville. HCC did not give up and we still played our hardest. In the last 20 seconds of the game, Sophomore Kristen Williford got hurt and was out of the game. The last 20 seconds were very important for us because we played for ourselves, our teammates, our coaches, and for our sophomores who were playing their absolute last soccer game. After them game even though we lost, we were very happy with ourselves for not giving up and for playing with heart. We celebrated the season and for the memories that the season brought to us and it was a very special memorable day. We were upset that we did not make it to regionals, but having fun was what the season was about and that’s what we cared about and celebrated.
