Lost to That Good Team 10-3

We finished the season without a victory. I scored but didn't do much otherwise. Klaas played again and we only had five players. There are two games left, one friendly and the last is the battle for 5th place. I don't know which team we'll be playing.

I enjoyed the regular season and I believe that my teammates did too. I was in a little bit over my head but I think that I improved a lot.

Last night I played on the University B team. We lost 9 to 6. I had a very nice goal and should've taken things more seriously. I gently lofted my first shot over the net rather than firing hard. I didn't think that I could play goalie or score because I play in a higher league. One of the players liked goalie so I didn't play. Again, there were only 5 players. We had a high school player who was like a tank. You could throw the ball in his general area and he would get it and dribble down the side. With a minute left, one of our players stayed at the other end to cherry pick. I blocked the opponent's pass with my paddle while playing defense. One of our guys picked up the ball, passed to the tank, who passed to the cherry picker. The cherry picker almost missed the open net with his shot. It was the nicest goal of the season.
