Florida Atlantic vrs. Western Michigan

The game against Florida Atlantic was a must win for the soccer program. If we were to lose the season would have been lost. But right from the kickoff we dominated play, the problem was the final third, we were struggling to find that first goal. At half time we lead 2-0, and until 41 minutes into the second half we lead 2-0. The whole game I was just hoping for a couple more games so I would get a chance to get in the game and get some playing time. Something that is hard to get in my position, defenders in soccer do not get subbed to often unless the other team is scoring goals, our defense has been outstanding this year so my chances are very limited. So when I heard my name from the coach I was a little surprised but thrilled, in the last four minutes of the game I was subbed in as a forward to just get some playing time, and on my first touch I scored a goal, less than thirty seconds of being on the field. The pass was perfect and it came from an unselfish play from a teammate, all I had to do was tap the ball into the back of the net. The feeling was great and I was speechless after it happened. Unfortunately my parents were not able to make the game, but I am looking forward to the Cincinnati game on Wednesday.
