SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!

Cate has been playing on the Greenhills Varsity soccer team this season, and she has done an amazing job! Last week, they began the playoffs, facing a local Catholic High School, Father Gabriel Richard.

From the first whistle, Greenhills dominated possession, and Cate was particularly dynamic on the ball, sending multiple beautiful passes through to the forwards. Unfortunately, we were unable to capitalize on any of these, and the scores was knotted at 0-0 at half.

In the second half, Cate sent a looping ball to one of the forward, who has able to latch onto it and slot it home. From there, Gabriel Richard began to grow into the game, and they had a strong run of possession and several chances on goal that nearly went in.

Later in the game, one of their players handled the ball in the box, setting up a penalty. Cate rushed forward to claim the ball and volunteer to take the penalty. Cool as you like, she dispatched the penalty and doubled the lead  to 2-0 - a lead which would stand at the end of regulation.

I do not know how far the Gryphons and Cate will go this year in the playoffs, but I will enjoy every minute of seeing the magic my mini Iniesta/Xavi weaves on the field. Go 'hills!
