Great win to finish off a HOT Saturday.

Sunday morning's opponent was Bartlet. The soccer gods spared us the heat and humidity, it was a beautiful Sunday morning. The played with a sense of urgency that translated into six different girls scoring goals (Victoria Craig, Grace Griffin, Renee Unterberg, Ashley DiOrio and Piper Campbell). Although the score was 6-3, Bartlet played a great game.

The win gave the Magic 30 minutes to recover and play for the Championship against Rock Run. Rock Run scored early and fast. The Magic defense was caught napping, but the girls got their heads on straight and finished the first half strong. Reese Jeanes came up with big saves in goal, and got the ball up the field quickly. Renee sent a PK into the top left corner of the goal, the match was tied at 1-1, and the momentum was with the Magic. The match ended regulation at 1-1 and went into overtime.  Rock Run scored two goals in OT and went on to take first place. What a great experience for the Magic.
