A serious soccer star

Tonight was Madison's first fall soccer game. She played her first season this past spring, and WOW what a difference one season makes! At the beginning of last season, she was timid on the field, afraid to "take" the ball from anyone, etc. She ended up scoring a total of 3 goals the entire season, which to her (and us!) was pretty darn cool and something she never stopped talking about. By the end of spring season, she was much more confident on the field, began bumping players out of the way to get to the ball, and just overall really getting into the game.

WELL! Timid she is not! She kicked some soccer booty tonight! The girl scored 6, yes you read that right, SIX goals at her game tonight. The total score was 7-1, with one other player on her team scoring as well. SHE WAS AWESOME!

Can anyone guess why she chose the number 26??
Madison is the tilted one in the middle.
High TENS for our soccer girl!
And I got her scoring a goal on video!
