Blue Thunder Rocks Ames, IA
March 2, 2009
Blue Thunder arrived in Ames, IA the weekend of February 28th & March 1st for the Toyota Indoor Championships. After playing the 3 teams in their bracket, West Des Moines Royal, CRSA Predators & Ankeny White, they were seeded #1 in their bracket for semifinal play.
After defeating West Des Moines White in a shootout in the semifinals, they were matched up with CRSA COPA in the final game of the day. At the end of regulation the score was tied 2-2 and other shootout was underway. Blue Thunder shoots first and flies the ball high over the goal. COPA’s first shot finds the corner. Blue Thunder’s second shot also finds the corner away from the goalie. COPA’s second shot goes straight to our goalie’s hands and it is tied up once again. Blue Thunder’s third and final shot is right on target, again in the corner. The pressure is on COPA to make the shot cause a tie or be defeated. The shot was on target, but the Blue Thunder goalie punches it over the goal to give Blue Thunder the Championship! With remarkable competition in an awesome facility, Blue Thunder returns home with many fond memories and an appetite for more tough competition in the tournaments ahead.
