Xplosion traveled to Olympia to play their final season match with the league leading and undefeated Chinqually Firebirds at RAC pitch.  Xplosion entered the match at the 2nd position in the District III Rec division of Washington Youth Soccer.  Strong defensive play by both teams ended in a 2-0 decision to the District Champion Firebirds from Olympia. The Firebirds Coach commented that this was their toughest game of the year. This ends an extremely strong season for Xplosion and earns a hard earned second place trophy at next months awards ceremony in Tacoma.

You may be wondering why we pass the can after each goal...

The can is a team tradition for raising money instead of fundraisers to help pay for end of the season parties and team gear.  This season we also added a rummage sale to help pay for the team warmups.  This years can money is going toward small end of season gifts for the players as well as buying the players food at the end of season dinner.  Through your very generous donations, we are less than ten dollars away from our goal...with one game to go! 

Thank You so much from the Coaches and all of the Players for your Goal Can donations.

Xplosion moved another step toward solidifying its number two league position with a 7-1 win over the Pumas of Kent at Heritage pitch on South Hill. A three goal  "hat trick" was turned in by Xplosion forward   Missy Cook. Two goals were scored by forward  Nikki Bohart, while Jessica Schock  finished a cross for her first goal this season. The Xplosion scoring was completed with a goal by outside mid  Michaela Heileson.  Xplosion keeper  Kaylee Cline had a shutout with several strong saves until traded out deep into the second period. The win will make the season final in Olympia a battle of the undefeated league leading Firebirds against our second place Xplosion...a great season for both clubs.

I've been a little late writing about this game because I'm having trouble finding the words!  What a day on the pitch!  Recent heavy rains left deep mud and puddles at the Ferrucci "bog".  FWU Lightning and Xplosion squared off in the rain in one of the wettest muddy, matches of the season. Two goals by  Missy Cook  and another by  Katelyn Fuhlman  gave Xplosion a 3-2 decision.  The side story is how hard the water and mud made it to move the ball to the net.  Jordan Croom had an awesome match in the middle of the field and wins the "beast" award for her aggressive sliding in the mud!  Another notable was  Jessica Schock with awesome passing from her mid position.  The win keeps Xplosion in the second position in the league, a position it will have to work hard to keep as the competition gets better every week.
