Today we had an earlier game which required waking up at 630 for a team run and breakfast. We then headed to the field for our third match against the Americans. The game started off a bit slow but we managed to pick it up and ended up with a 1-0 lead at halftime due to a goal by Sarah AKA ‘Kegs…

Day 5:
Today we awoke to a mysterious mist engulfing La Quinta Inn. It was an earlier start because of our upcoming practice and luncheon with Team USA, breakfast at 7:45 (much to Caashia’s dismay…."Get outta ma face!!!!"). After a delicious breakfast of Greek yogurt and hard boiled eggs, we headed to the field. Practice was low key but productive and soon we were starving. With rosy cheeks (some a little bit more tomato coloured) we joined the Americans for lunch in the OTC cafeteria…

Day 2 :
Waking up to the sun was definately a happy change from the usual Canadian winter weather. Driving to the field was both exciting and suspenseful wondering what the Olympic Training Centre would look like. When we saw it, all we could say was, "Wow….I wish we had this back at home!" Training was difficult because of the heat (25 degrees), but it was great to practice as a whole Canadian Junior National Team for the first time…
