Great story about being your own person and how good it feels when you work to achieve something. From the New York Times, A Soccer Phenom Puts the ‘I’ in Team
Last spring, Indi Cowie performed her freestyle soccer routine for 76,000 fans during halftime at a Chelsea-Manchester United match in Manchester. But standing backstage at the Green Hope High talent show in Cary, N.C., she was nervous. She may have won freestyle competitions in Rome and shot Sony Playstation commercials in Prague, but she’s not exactly the popular girl in high school. They even spelled her name wrong in the event program. But this 16-year-old nobody does things that no other girl on the planet can do.
Hat tip to Bob! Plenty of other videos can be found by searching for Indi Cowie on Youtube
Emily Cline (GHS 2011) and Rachel McIntyre (KHS 2011)
Glendale Falcons – 5
Kickapoo Chiefs – 3
The game got off to a fast start when Emily Cline was taken down just outside the box in the 2nd minute. Jr Molly Brewer collected the loose ball, set and shot to the far post (video below). Kickapoo tied the game only minutes later when McKenna Adams was fouled in Glendale’s box, leading to a goal scored from the penalty spot by Marin Gelsheimer. In the 22nd, Cline was once again fouled leading to a direct kick from approximately 26 yards out. Once again Brewer was on target. When Cline scored from the top of the penalty box late in the first half, it appeared Glendale had an unassailable lead.
Kickapoo had been controlling play in the latter part of the first half, moving the ball well against the Falcons. It was a nice display in comparison to Glendale’s focus on springing Cline. When she scored in stoppage time, it could have disheartened the Chief’s but they came out in the second half committed to their plan. It led to their second goal when McKenna Adam’s was able to move parallel to the end line into the box all the way to the six yard box where she slid her shot to the far post.
Glendale’s bench was crowded this evening, in comparison to the Chief’s who had four substitutes available. In the 55th minute, Rachel McIntyre was shown a straight red card, leaving Kickapoo with 10 on the pitch. Cline had been sprung free down the left side. As McIntyre came across from the right side to track her down her tackle stopped the attack but at the expense of her remaining time on the pitch. She’ll also miss the game against Catholic on Friday. Yet again the Chief’s fought back from a deficit, tying the game a few minutes later when Glendale was called for a handball in the box. Gelsheimer finished her second PK of the night and it looked like we were headed to overtime until…
Yep, Cline. This time it was a goal kick by freshman starter Kendra Lierz. Cline came across and flicked the ball forward into space and used her pace to again get behind the defense and bury her breakaway in the 75th. She scored her hat-trick minutes later when a breakdown in the box led to an open net.
