Yes, great season. They were inexplicably picked for ninth in the official preseason poll, which made no sense at all. They had a bit of a late season slump which dropped them to fourth place, but they won a key final regular season game and then ran the tournament table.
Freshman center mid Teresa Deda deservedly got the MVP award. Even though she is about 5 foot two, she made first team All-PL as a freshman, and had the winning goal in the semis and in today’s game. The team should be loaded next year, with nine starters returning, including PL offensive POY Rylee Donaldson, Deda, plus super athletic goalkeeper Jenna Hall.
I was particularly happy for the two senior captains. Claire Mensi made the all-tournament team after missing most of two seasons with two separate torn ACL’s, and Holly Burns returned recently after missing most of the season with an injury. Team today played without both of their starting outside mids , one of whom has a lower leg injury from two weeks ago, and the other one was injured early in the game On a bad foul that the ref chose to ignore. In general he did not have a good game or a consistent one.
