The Tornados were short three players for Saturday's game which meant that each player got to stay on the field for the whole time. This proved to be a difficult task as the Red Team loves to run... would the Tornados be up to the feat?
After an early 1-0 lead by the Red Team, Jace put in a top shelf goal to tie it up. After hitting two off the side of the net, Troy raced down the field and put in a low shot past the goalie to take a 2-1 lead.
The Tornados defense stole the ball, and quickly got the ball in the hands (or should I say feet?) of the forwards to gain odd-man rushes throughout the game. Christopher's sideline ball handling and passing to Aaron and Emma helped to create some good chances for the Tornados.
Aaron and Emma teamed up to give the goalie a workout as they pummeled shot after shot on the net.
Jonathan, Lea and Joey took the ball away from the Red Team several times throughout the game. This helped to get the ball into our offensive zone for a few more scoring chances.
The Tornados were talking to each other throughout the game, and really helping each other out. This meant some good sideline passing and some great interceptions!
Some loooooooooong kicks from the goalie and the Red Team's defense meant the Tornados got even more of a workout with the long runs to get back and grab the ball.
Madison and Riley showed some real toughness as they tracked down the ball and quickly turned up field to put the pressure on their opponents.

To finish the game strong, Lawrence decided to show his dad how well he plays. Lawrence stole the ball, dribbled it up field and put one in the back of the net to give the Tornados a 4-2 victory!
