It's been a while since Lila's team won a tournament. The Veterans Heroes Cup started off slow, but they began picking up speed halfway through. By Sunday afternoon they were rolling.

| This fierce little girl was ready to bring home that big trophy! |
 |
| These girls all fought hard and the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Since it was the finals, though, it went into penalty kicks. Coach Pat chose his top five to take the shots--Elle, Carolina, Izzy, Lila and Ryleigh. It was so intense! The other team went first and missed. Elle took her shot and made it! The other team shot and Hayley saved it. Carolina went next and made it! Our goalie made a fantastic save. Izzy shot it hard past their goalie and we won!!! Whew! My heart was beating so hard. Lila's was, too. She was terrified about having to shoot next, but so relieved when she didn't have to. |
 |
| Pure happiness! |
 |
These girls played three games that day and Lila never got subbed out, I don't think.
Her little legs were like noodles, but she powered through. |
 |
| That big medal and trophy were so worth all the sweat! |
 |
And as a bonus, Gigi was there to see it all, too!
Way to go, Lila. We couldn't be more proud of you if we tried. |
