OMG, 2 goals scored on us in one game. OK, it was coach Jon's fault for messing with the line up, but we were 4-0 up after about 6 minutes.
It was about the most fun game in ages, as parents from both sides cheered some end to end soccer (helped by the small field) which produced hundreds of scoring opportunities.
The score finished 7-2. Hat-tricks for Ysa and Lulu and another goal for Yoshi who, during this game, dribbled the ball about the equivalent of 8 miles.

6-0 win ( again ) v. OV Heat
with the squad depleted through Diwali, AYSO, forgotten cleats and trips to see Wicked, TG turned up at the Morgan Hill Soccer Complex with just 11 players. KK started for the 1st time in ages but had to sub out quickly. Fortunately the girl who forgot her cleats had just arrived.
Before the game started, the girls found JJ who had just played on the same field. There were hugs and possibly some tears
Coach Jon had just watched the Lynx win 5-0 so the pressure at the top of the table was back on.
TG started at high speed. Crosses and shots were flying aound the OV box within minutes, but it took until about the 10 minute mark to break the deadlock. Ysa broke down the right and clipped a nice right foot shot into the far corner of the net. Alexia followed with a carbon copy goal a few minutes later. The OV goalkeeper was not retreating quickly after making punts. This turned out to be a bad strategy when one of her kicks went to Cali who sent the ball straight back over her head for another goal. There was a 4th goal in the 1st half.... can't remember who got it. Oh, and the TACO corner worked great with Addie getting a perfect cross in front of the goals
Second Half - the wind got up a bit and was against TG. However, the ball stayed almost entirely in the OV half of the field. Two more goals followed. One from Jes, her first for TG and what a sweet way to start with a stonking left foot drive high into the net. Hannah finished the scoring with a right foot volley into the right of the net from a corner kick.

3-0 win v. Santa Cruz Jaws
I wasn't there due to a clash with the Sporting 98 game, but I hear we dominated and won 3-0 and that Ysa scored a hat-trick and that there weren't any shots on our goal, and that KK's knees held up....cool !!

Back to the League
3-0 victory over LG Lynx.
Following the distraction of winning a tournament and then a week with no game, TG returned to Fall league duty with a game worthy of top billing this weekend. TG and the Lynx both had 100% records going into this game so something had to give. Certainly this was TG's toughest challenge of the season so far and the first half finished goaless despite Lulu smashing a shot against the crossbar. And for the first time this Fall, our goalkeepers had some work to do... there were actually shots on our goal today. But still no goals against. And, TG really took control in the second half with Ysa, Lulu, and Cali firing crosses into the Lynx penalty box - eventually Alexia was in the right place and despite only being 2 feet out, she smashed the ball high into the Lynx net. Soon it was 2-0 as Ysa picked up a loose ball and sent it over the Lynx keeper. TG then had to put in some strong defence as the Lynx sent most of their team forward, but the girls stood strong and forced the ball away each time. TG then made it 3-0 with another sustained period of attacking... again the ball flew across the Lynx goal and Carrie put it in with her left foot at the 2nd attempt.
The table looks good tonight
