This year the Pink Dominators won every game except one (and they beat that team later).  They had fun and played hard, and by the end of the season, all the other teams knew the Pink Dominators were there to play.

Go Pink Dominators!

Pretty ominous, right?

Pre-game huddle

Megan is a natural athlete, and any sport she tries comes easily to her.  When she was four years old she played on her first soccer team.  Even then she had the vision and could pick the ball out of a pack of four year olds and dribble it down the field to successfully score.  The result?  A crowd of exuberant parents yelling, "Go Megan!" as she'd run down the field.  She just wanted to play, and didn't like the attention, so after her first game, she refused to score.  

Fast forward to 2010.  Her coaches convinced her to block out the yelling from the sidelines, but there was yet another obstacle.  If you know Megan, you know how kind-hearted she can be, and her considerate nature was carrying over into soccer.  She said when she'd get close to scoring she'd stop because she didn't want to make the other person feel bad.  Coaches encouraged, and Mom and Dad bribed Megan with 3 days of no jobs if she could score a goal.  On the final game of the season she scored two goals.  

...And everyone yelled, "Go Megan!"

Fancy footwork

The Pink Dominators finished the last half of the game in cold, torrential rain.  

They just added layers and kept playing.  

(And even though they're twelve, after game snacks still rule!)
