Li's U-8 girls team played their first match of the fall season this morning. The end result was, in truth, pretty ugly (a 9-1 loss) but one of the real highlights came from Li. She played the third "quarter" (yes, quarters in soccer: they split the match into quarters to facilitate substitutions) as goalkeeper, and kept a clean sheet. She managed to grab a couple balls, and blocked a couple others.
This from the player who, before the season started when she found out we had a goalkeeper on the field at this level, was pretty emphatic that she did not want to play in goal.
