Exciting play!

A couple of games ago M&M's team was playing in a pretty close soccer game. I think the score was 2-1 at the time when M&M was put in as a forward. There was one play where our team got the ball down close to the goal and one of M&M's teammates shot the ball and the goalie stopped it. The ball came out of the goalie's hands though and everyone thought that he would pick it right back up. Well, M&M was quite a distance from the ball but she ran as fast as she could for the ball and managed to kick it in the goal before the goalie got his hands back on the ball. It was an awesome goal to watch! All of us on the sidelines just assumed that no one would be able to get to the ball before the goalie and M&M even had teammates that were closer to the play than she was!

I think the final score of the game was 4-2 or 4-3 and M&M's coach said to her at the end of the game, "That's the reward you get for never giving up!!"
