Jesse playing defense against Hastings

Here are some photos of Jesse in action against Hastings today with the Eastview 7-8 Black team. She is the only girl in the all-boys league. Eastview won the first game of the day 8-1. Jesse had a great hit on an attack man twice her size, knocking him to the ground. She later stepped in front of one of his shots when the goalie was out of the net, taking the shot in her unprotected bicep. She saved the goal, but got a nice bruise in return. In the day’s second game, Eastview Black lost a close one, 5-3, to a powerhouse Centennial team that beat its opponents by a combined 28-1 in both  opening weekend games. Eastview Black’s season record now stands at 3-1. Go, Lightning!

Jesse stays on her man

You can tell Jesse because she has that Josh-Funk-flowing-hair thing going on
