After checking in at the hotel
The captain is stretching a bit before the first game of the tournament
A closer look at captain Diana
I was not alone caring for small children. This is John, Amber's husband who brought their two sons, Noah 4 years, and Elijah 6 months.
First game about to start
Diana keeping the defense line in check
Diana sure was enjoying playing
Renante came by to cheer his sister on
Field Hockey is not for the faint of heart. Melissa is abruptly stopped by Strykers' defense
Jill gracefully moves the ball through the midfield
Jessica makes sure the ball stays on the right side of the field
The support section. From the left, Jessica's fiancé, and Dana's parents
Mia and Renante showing off their stone faces
Moony, the best player on the team. A forceful bulldozer who played a crucial part to their success.
Jill chilling after a game
Mia, the goalie gear assistant
John, a typical Field Hockey Father
Irene, our solid goalie who thankfully saw very little action the first day
Another very solid player. Have not player hockey in 7 years but rocked it like she never stopped. She also brought her entire family, including her 2 year old daughter.
Oddly, the substitutes lined up in consecutive order. Diana is number 16.

All the girls after a won game
Diana hugs Melissa after the game. She unfortunately could only play the 2 games we ha the first day. She was later replaced by a player they call Blue. Or as Renante calls her, The Legend.
