The intramural field was the place to be for the second game of the girl’s intramural soccer championship. Beneath the flood lights, team one, Make it Reign, faced team two, J Dibs for a chance at the semi finals. As soon as the clock struck 10, the girls of Make it Reign were off eagerly chasing the ball for a chance to move toward the semi finals and win. Last season, they placed second.
Within the first 10 minutes, Amanda Fuller scored a goal splitting the defense and running right up the middle.
“That was so much fun,” she said after the game, “it worked perfectly.”
By the end of the first half, Make it Reign had three goals to J Dibs’ zero. The second half began with a goalie change. Jordyn Clark was put in the position.
“I’ve never played goalie before!” she said. “It’s hard to play because everyone is counting on you.”
The second half didn’t work out too well for J Dibs as Amanda, Kendall White, and Kristin Zuchowski all scored goals ending the game at 8-0.
Team Captain Kristin Zuchowski said “that was such a great game for us. Sam had a hattrick, I had a goal, and we didn’t let them score! It really was nice to see the defense working for once.”
J Dibs’ goalie would not comment on her performance, but she did give me a gesture that summed up the team’s feelings towards that last whistle.
“That was one of my best games ever,” said Fuller, “I was on fire tonight.”
