With the summer nearly over, the Avalanche took the pitch with two training sessions under their belt, three players out due to injury and three players fulfilling HS sports requirments - the Avs called on the assistance of two U14 guest players to round out a deplete squad.  The Avalanche scored first mid-way through the first half and held the 1-0 lead until 10 seconds left in the half.  With the half ending, the ball rolled up the back of the Av defender and glazed off her face.  The AR called a handball and after minutes of discussion, the CR awarded a PK and the Liberty drew even. The Avs had their chances, but the summer rust was still taking hold and the Avlalanche could not find the back of the net.  The game ended 1-1 and the controlversial hand-ball call ultimately was the determining factor that kept the Avalanche out of the finals.  Good game girls!!  

Game #199 ended with a 1-0 victory over the Vista Stingrays. Still upset with the call against them in the first match, the coaches calmed the girls down for the task at hand.  Trying to salvage the win with a majority of the sqaud out due to injury and HS volleyball, they fought hard for the 1-0 victory.  Congrats on the first win of the U15 season!!
