Cat's Soccer Season 2020

Cat had another great soccer season!  Last year she broke her school's record of goals in a single season with 25.  As the season progressed we knew there was a chance that Cat could break the overall career record, and sure enough she broke the women's record (42), then the men's record (43), and ended with 23 goals for the season, equalling 48 career goals.  Amazing!  And it's so great to watch her - she's a smart player, a great ball-handler, and she's tough and aggressive.

Below are some of the pictures I took with my good camera (plus a few from our phones), and several pictures that other parents took and shared.

Home Game Season Opener vs. Providence Hall

Home Game vs. North Sanpete

When Cat got home from the game at North Sanpete,

where she broke the career goals record at her school

with 45 goals, midway through her sophomore season,

she was pretty happy.

Game at American Leadership Academy

This was the last regular season game and Cat scored with about

10 seconds left in overtime play, helping her team win 1-0!

1st Tournament Game at Richfield

This game was tied after regulation, tied after 10 minutes of overtime, and tied after the second 10 minutes of overtime.  Cat played almost all of the 100 minutes of play, including a few minute at goalie - with four saves - when the goalie got a yellow card.  Next was a shootouts, with each team getting 5 chances.  After that, the score was 3-3 (and Cat got hers!), so then there was a sudden death shootout, during which our team got two goals and the other team got their first and missed their second.  The final score was 5-4, and we advanced to the quarter finals.  Not only was it exciting that they won after such a battle, but they pulled off a big upset, defeating a team that was ranked #5 while Cat's team was ranked #12.

You can see how completely physically and emotionally exhausted

Cat was in these pictures from right after the game:

Quarterfinals at Juab

This game was tied at 0-0 until Juab scored with about 10 minutes left in the game.

This is an opponent Cat's team has played multiple times and this is the closest

the game has ever been.  They played very well, and even though they lost, it was

a positive note to end on.

(Can you see how the opponent was double-teaming Cat?
Sometimes she was triple-teamed.)

P.S. I have some videos too, but I'll post those separately once I've had a chance to sort through them and do some editing.
