Bronze Medal Winner

Six of the girls from Ella's soccer team got together to play in a 3 v 3 tournament put on by the Show Me Games.  Half of the girls had played three on three before and the other half had not.  They practiced once but were having trouble with the pace of the game.  Come tournament time though they adapted and won their first game 5-4.  Ella scored two goals in the game including the game winning goal with very little time left. 
After a few hours rest they played another team and this time tied.  Ella came away with another goal.  She played aggressively and learned to shoot when she had the opportunity.  The next day they would play one of the undefeated teams from day one that had not given up a goal in their first two games.  The team proved too tough and beat Ella's team 5-2, but at least they were able to get some goals on the them.  Ella's team finished third out of six teams in the tournament and they were awarded bronze medals.  The girls were so proud of themselves!  They have shown great growth throughout the fall season.  

Warming up before the game.
