{Chapter Four}
Sophie's POV
We met my mom and the rest of the girls in the lobby. Then we all piled into a huge bus we rented for the families and went to the field. We got there, went to our bench and put on our shinguards, socks, and cleats. Then we started warm-ups. We ran a lap and then stretched, then we did a passing drill. We did a few half field sprints. And then we took a few shots on goal. After the sprints I grabbed my goalie gloves and walked to the corner of the penalty box. My coach did my goalie warm-ups with me and then I jumped in goal. I stopped most of the shots, but a few I just let past so I didn't hurt myself trying to get them. "Okay, girls line up for check-ins." My coach yelled and we all ran over to the top of the 18. The ref said the usual stuff and then we walked over to our bench. "CAPTAINS!" The head ref yelled. Me and Vanessa walked over and shock hands with the other teams captains and the refs. We won the coin toss and elected to choose the way we were facing, and let the other team kick off. The team got into a small huddle, said a small pep talk, and then broke the huddle with 'team!', to remember we were a team no matter what. As we walked onto the field, I heard a bunch of people yelling mine and Vanessa's names from the stands. I didn't want to look over there, it would just make me nervous. Everyone who started did they handshake with everyone else, Mine and Vanessa's was definitely the best, and then walked to our starting positions. I stood in the middle of the goal and then slid over to the left post and touched it. Slid to the right side and touched it. Then to the middle, and jumped to cross bar, and down to the ground. It was my little routine. Then the game begun. The entire first half no one scored, and I had some really good saves. During the second half, we scored right after the beginning of the half. Then with about 10 minutes left, they scored on us. It was a lucky shot that hit the opposite post and bounced in. We ended the game in a tie. someone had to win, so we went into overtime. During the overtime no one scored, so we had a second. When no one had scored, we had to go into a shoot out. A goalies worst nightmare. I was going to play goal, and I was going to take one of the shots. I shot last for my team. The other teams first shot, was way over the cross bar. I was very excited in side, but I didn't want to sike myself out, so I just walked to my spot. Vanessa was next. She always goes right on her penalty kicks, and that's what she did this time. She hit the very top corner of the net. 1-0! The next girl for the other team was up now. She was able to score on me. By the end of that round it was 2-1. Near the end of the shoot out, the score was 4-4. If I scored my shot, we would win. The ref handed me the ball, and I put it on the penalty spot. He told me I could go whenever I was ready. I always go to my right, and go for the top corner, just like Vanessa. I hit the ball, and I a few seconds later I heard screaming, but whose team was screaming?
