Soccer Game: Loss, 2-1 (the season is finally over!)

Well, this was a pretty good game to end the season on. Well, this season anyways. We scored first, they came back to tie it, then went ahead on a header directly off a corner kick. Overall, though, we played well, the defense shut things down pretty well, the midfield was able to get the ball up to the forwards, and we took a lot of shots. We actually had 2 shots off the post, so it was a pretty close game. My game was pretty decent, playing right fullback, getting a few interceptions, putting pressure on to make them mistakes. We weren't holding a tight line, so I wasn't trapping on a couple of plays, but neither resulted in goals, so it didn't seem too bad. Overall, we felt good as a team. Finally! Now, a week or two off, and the fall season starts. I feel like I am getting to know a bunch of the players out there, so hopefully we'll wind up on a team with some nice people. But the rest will be nice, hopefully my shins and calves will appreciate it.
