Eliminators Cruise

Emma and the Eliminators cruised to another blow-out victory, winning 10-3, on a cloudy, rain-threatening Saturday afternoon. Emma displayed outstanding defensive work and tended goal well.

While held scoreless, she led several breaks that resulted in scoring opportunities for her teammates.

Emma Spring Soccer

Emma's Spring soccer season has started and Saturday was her first game (she missed the season opener to attend the Aggie Spring football game).

Emma scored a goal, gave up a goal, and knocked down a boy. And her team won, 10-1. An all-around excellent day.

She models her uniform, once again green. Must be the Irish in her.

And they're off!

In this league, the ages range from 10 to 15. Emma works to get around one of the giants.

Always strong on defense.

Alas, the one goal allowed was a wee bit tall for her.

And finally, the part everybody loves - taking someone down.

Instead of the elbow, Emma was little more subtle. See how she strategically placed her left foot on his right toes. Smooth.

Emma - Girl Scouts STRIDERS

Last Sunday Emma competed in the Girl Scout STRIDERS program. This is basically a non-competitive track meet. Each girl chooses six events. One Emma picked was the running long jump. From across the field I was able to capture this series. Click to enlarge, if you dare.
