You could almost see the determination in the girl's eyes. They knew that if they won this game they could go to the championship game. They had to win this game. The game started out just like any other girls soccer game. Both teams took the field to warm up. One team wore uniforms with bright red jerseys with solid white numbers and the other team wore uniforms with orange jerseys and solid black numbers. Every girl was matching from their jerseys to their shorts and socks The only thing that was different was their headbands and cleats. This made them look like a real team.

The first kick was taken by LC United. It was dribbled then passed over and over again and made it all the way down to the last defender on Extreme’s team. They pass the defender and take the cross for the perfect goal shot but no one was there for the pass. They had almost gotten a shot off in the first five minutes of the game and yet their was still no emotion to be found on their coach's face. With Extreme now in possession of the ball the United players dash back to their positions on the field. They were ready to show Extreme what they came here to do, win. As Extreme takes the throw United is the first to the ball. They are determined to get the ball back on their end of the field. As they dribble the ball over the midfield line they are back on their end of the field. They take advantage of the split second head start and they storm the goal. Sending the perfect shot straight into the back of the net. The goal is good. The score is now one to zero
