We played Alta Loma on 12/15. Alta Loma has a really good program and therefore a really good team. They outnumbered our girls at least 2 to 1 and he changed them around regularly. Needless to say it wasn't a fun game to watch. I don't know what the final score was (thankfully the scoreboard wasn't working) but I think we had 4 and they had a lot. Tyaan was playing point again and the girls she was playing against on the other team were really really good. One girl in particular was an excellent player and it was obvious she had a lot of experience in that position. Tyaan played well, but was struggling. She was pushing as hard as she could and trying to turn the girl to get past her but you could see the effort. In both of their previous games nobody even came close to taking the ball from Ty and she could turn them and get around them relatively easily, but in this game the ball got taken from her a few times. She did manage to get around her a couple times but she was exhausted by the end of the game. She scored 1 goal and assisted on at least 2 others. She had 1 ejection because the girl did a good job at swimming underneath her to get the call.
Tyaan was frustrated afterwards, but she did really well considering she was playing a new position against a team that obviously has a lot of strength and experience. I'm glad they got to play them because I think they all needed the pressure and hopefully the team will have learned from it and be better prepared when they play teams from their own league.
One more pre-league game on Friday and then she has a few weeks off for Christmas break (from games anyway - I'm sure there will be practice most days) and then the league games begin and we'll see how they do!
