Off to Alameda

Last Saturday I had to go out to Alameda for a girls lacrosse game. The game was between the Walnut Creek Warriors and the Alameda Attack. The game was at ten o'clock and considering I have never been to Alameda, I had to wake up pretty early. We got there and the town was really nice. I was surprised of how nice it was because it was on the outskirts of a not so nice part of Oakland.

VS.
The first half was heavily in favor of the Attack with a three to nothing lead going into half time. The referees were new to reffing so the coaches had to help them out. Because of that, the Attack girls were getting away with what should have been fouls but did not get called for them. That is why they had such a big lead. After the fouls were clarified, the Warriors scored three straight unanswered goals. They had a chance to score at the end of the game but unfortunately the time ran out.

Even though the girls had been roughed by the other players, when the game was over they were really happy they came back to tie it up. As score and time keeper I got a close look at how happy they really were. They were all smiling and saying great game to their teammates. I am glad to see how they didn't get mad at the refs but played on and still were able to come back at the end.
