Pullin' Out the Upset!!

For the past 6 years our team has gone to our conference's playoff tournament to determine which team goes to the NCAA National Tournament. For the past couple years we have gone into the tournament with the number 1 spot. This year, the conference was, to say the least, unpredictable and we entered the tournament on Wednesday in the fourth position - meaning we had to play the #1 team who was completely undefeated this year. It was a HUGE game for us but there was never any question in our minds that we would prevail - we are, after all, the better team! We are the Concordia College COBBERS!! :)


Chelsee always has to hang her jersey on the back of our bench before the game while she warms up...

Gettin' the cleats on...


Warm ups...


Pre-game pump up speech from the coach

The National Anthem



Half time strategy...
The score was still tied 0-0


The starters all have their silly games before they go back on the field after halftime. They were singing and dancing in a circle this time :)


Apparently all the singing and dancing worked! We scored an amazing goal in overtime to win the game! We are moving on in playoffs and just created the biggest upset in our conference yet this season! GO COBBERS!!

Post-game celebrations are always the best! Everyone is so happy. BIG hugs were a MUST!
