Every game so far has been tight and hard fought. And in every game we just can’t seem to catch the right break that puts us over the top. This morning we played TJ Ark (China), an excellent team that already had played one of the finalists from last year very close (1-0).

The game was tied at halftime. Our goalie made a tremendous save on a point blank shot and was able to clear the ball away. Meanwhile, we had excellent chances but could not cash in.

In the second half we scored first on an amazing goal by Avril (video to eventually follow) and it seemed like it was finally going to be our day, but TJ Ark struck quickly and tied the game up after some defensive confusion.
