    Quote of the Tournament: "We're bursting with fruit flavor!" - Kat, attributing the team's 8-goal explosion to pre-game scoring Skittles.

    Thanks to all the families and friends who came to watch us play, including Laura's 2 aunts and 2 uncles. And a "Get Well Soon" to Andrea who toughed it out to play two games despite a horrible flu.
