Happy Birthday to you Patty!!!

We beat the Australia 9-8, today in our semifinal game..what a game it was..I cant really remember much but what I do remember is going up by 3 to end the 3th quarter and after we missed a 5meter we fell a part for a little bit and gave up our 3 goal lead..But then we cracked down on defense and made some 5on6 saves and scored a crucial 6on5 with a minute left in the game..then we did what we do best and played some great defense the last possesion to the game...We will face the Netherlands on thursday..the beat Hungary 8-7...cant wait...
