it was beautiful. it was the semi-final game of women's indoor soccer. we had just tied the game 2-2 when the buzzer ran out. a finals game cannot end in a tie, there must be a winner. we went into sudden-death overtime of 2 three-minute halves, where the first team to score a goal will win the game. it was our kick-off. the tension was high. the whistle blew, and without hesitation, i wound up and took a half field shot on the goal. it was a line-drive straight towards the goal. the goalie didn't see it coming. she reached up towards the ball as it cleared just over her hands, and just under the goal post. within 2 seconds of sudden-death overtime, we had secured ourselves a spot in the final championship game. you gotta love a victory like that.
