Rhino Rose goes 2-2 at the Sand Storm Tournament!!!
The weather was perfect, the fields were green and the lacrosse was awesome!! The Rhino Rose showed up to the 2010 Sand Storm tournament to play. They brought their very best game and showed their stuff in California.
All 18 players took part in the 2 win and 2 loss record for the weekend. The competition was tough but the Rose team showed no fear. They played aggressive and never backed down. The Rose team was a mix of player from all over Oregon and a Washington member! They all played with a mix of intensity and urgency for all 4 games!!
Each member of the team shined on the great Empire Polo fields. Goalie Mica Sandoval was solid in the net for the Rose. She was a wall and came up with huge saves and led the attack from the back. She shut down players even when the save seemed impossible.
The defense held strong through all attacking attempts by opposing teams. Carson Whitehill, Zoe Potts, Shelby Anderson, Kat Carnevale, Marina Sandoval, and Megan Anderson worked as a well oiled defensive machine. They shut down opposing teams and came up strong with dropped balls in the 8.
The attack was led by Lauren Pederson, Brooke Painter, Sloane Barton, and Maragret Gleasman. They were strong with their shots and kept their cool in the settled attack!
Ceara Leo and Dayna Kim were all over the field for the Rose. They helped the D stay solid, helped lead the transition, and also found the back of the net.
Midfield was very strong for the Rose. They moved the ball down the field, scored goals, and slowed the opposition’s drive!! Sarah Seals, Alida Beck, Geala Dennison-Leonard, and Emily Sauter forced midfield turnovers and were stellar with the transition. Meghan Jordan was solid in the center, dominating the draw!!.
Alida Beck and Dayna Kim were named to all tournament team!!!
The Rhino Rose team came together, stayed together, and were successful together!!!!
