we beat the rainbows!
it was an amazing game, almost the best im game ive ever been in (purple league championship soccer). dazzling rainbows beat us 11-5 in the regular season, and were favored to win by 5 tonight. we came out and played hard, going up 1-0. at the beginning of the 3rd period, it was 3-2 them. we tied it up right away, then went ahead 4-3 towards the midpoint with a huge goal from kara assisted by sam. we went up more with a clutch goal from jim. i think they scored another to make it 5-4. then it was time for defense and we played well. they pulled their goalie with two minutes left. sam scored an empty netter that saved our lives when the rainbows struck for the last time to make it 6-5 us. the last minute was the longest minute ever, but we ended up winning and advancing to the quarterfinals.
it was an especially satisfying victory because adam, sam, and i played for the rainbows in white league, so we knew most of the guys. adam was a rock in goal, and everyone stepped up and played really well. we have really come together as a team since the last time we played them. mat sci is our next opponent on the quest for the tshirts. i dont know if any victory will be sweeter than tonight though. adam compared it to the usa team beating the russians. the finals dont even matter.
after the game, the refs told us that we played the best as a team and that they were pulling for us. it was a really exciting game. surely what IM sports, or sports in general, is all about.
