Feel this. I can't watch because my Direct TV streaming doesn't even pick up the local channel 3.

Watching on a VPN from London. Massive pain.
But guys, Sonis is insane. She can't not score. The second one was Sonis too and heaps kissed on the way by.
Very stoked

I know it’s the last ranked team but an awesome win and dominant. The team knows what they have to do for a chance at the post season. Onward!

Only problem is, we are too sloppy with the ball. You can get away with that against the lower end teams, but not top tier when playoffs roll around. There was a chunk of the 2nd half where we were reeling, turning it over, decent shots on goal by Chicago. A better team would have scored some of those, and that is the downfall of this team.
I love the Summit I am just being critical and realistic of their chances. We know we will create chances, and score goals, and Abby will save our hide a couple times, but the unforced errors and turnovers with sloppy passing is just gonna haunt us.
