The next day we had our first game. Now, this was our first year as an organization, so as a coach I didn’t know how to prepare my team for this type of soccer. We played an experienced team from Sacramento who took us to school in the first game. We picked up two or three plays from that game just by watching them use the plays on us. Again though, the Sacramento players showed amazing sportsmanship to our team. We were down from the defeat, but they gave us hugs and encouraged us after the game. We were being shown early on what this tournament was all about.
