Indoor Soccer – Game 1

A win, 1-0, over St. Johns.  Matthew was off with Mom watching MSU take on the Western Michigan Broncos, so, just Christopher for the first game of the indoor soccer season (of course, it’s 65 degrees out, warmer than for at least three of our outdoor games in October).

Christopher played well, again, he excels at defense and was a rock back there in the first half.  The last part of the second half we went where we hadn’t gone before in outdoor; Christopher got his turn in goal.  The bright side?  He stopped everything that came at him….the downside….well, let’s just say he won’t be getting another chance unless we’re winning by more than a few goals.  Not very good on goal kicks (missed MISSED on one of the punts….not good) and just really not his strength back there. 

He’s the rock that holds the defense together; I guess that will have to be enough.
