First quarter final, Friday

Now we are settled in Chicago, after a long bus ride back from Minneapolis. The bus driver did his first trip on this route and got lost about an hour before we should have arrived. A nice passenger from Chicago guided him right, but we were more than an hour late to meet the families we are staying with here in Aurora, an hour's drive west of Chicago. All waited patiently for us, packed the girls into cars and drove home to get a bunch of tired champions into bed.

Team Passion's first quarter final against NASA from Georgia on Friday was an even game. After full time result 2-2, ten extra minutes was needed to separate the teams. NASA were happy to score their third and we were out of the tournament, in fifth place. NASA were beaten in the semi final by Saskatchewan ASTA F SK who later won the Trophy flight.

Never have we had such spectator's support as in this game! An excited crowd of families and new friends did all they could for us. We were not happy losing the game, but realize being fifth is really good with the hard competition we've met in the tournament!
