2008 Goal of the year

I'll chime in to say that Sophie's conversion from a holding midfielder for Canada to a goal-scoring striker at UP is a tribute to a coach's insight and her nonstop effort. Sophie is as strong as they come, but she also shows such a deft touch on the ball. Few players can take a ball out of the air with any part of the body like she can. Is striker her ideal position for next season? I'd better stop now before I start conjuring fantasy lineups for fall.

Yeah, the rule is you have to wait for at least one Spring game to start in on that.

I sure feel ready for some fresh Pilot soccer -- spring scrimmage, exhibition or whatever! The goals of 2008 (beautiful tho they be) need to make way for a new crop.
