    Samantha started this game in net, and while she didn't 
face an abundance of shots during the game she found herself struggling from 
time to time. She allowed two goals, one of which was a direct kick from just 
outside the goal box, and there wasn't much she could do to stop it. The second 
one was a very soft goal, however, and I know that she can do better while 
playing in net. She moved to the field in the second half, but instead of 
playing offense she was placed on defense - a position she hasn't played much 
during her time at La Forza. Thankfully it didn't matter, as her team coasted to 
an easy 5-3 victory against the younger La Forza girls.
