High school soccer is mostly played on weekdays after school.  Occasionally, as was the case today, a game is played on a weekend evening.  This allows more parents and students to attend the game and lends a greater sense of excitment to the match.  Maya was in fine form this evening helping her squad to a 5-0 win over Chelmsford. She is learning to play more aggressively and with greater intensity which in turn is getting her more minutes on the field.  I hope her brothers have an opportunity to see their baby sister play one day. I think they will be very impressed.

Below, Maya unintentionally executes a painful face trap. She took it in stride and kept possession of the ball.  I winced as I watched through my telephoto lens.
