Thanks for being patient with us over the past few days.  I know you have been waiting for updates...so   here we go!!

The 99 girls kicked off the tour with a 4-1 win over Erith School from England.  The girls played a great game, with the only goal against coming in stoppage time at the end of the game.  The 97 girls played to a 2-2 tie to Vicenza Calcio, a local Italian team.  It was a very competitive game, with the Italians bringing some girls down from their senior team to play in the match.  Both teams showed very well.  After the 97 game, Vicenza Calcio joined the girls and the staff for dinner.  Everybody had a great time with the girls breaking the language barrier by the end of dinner, singing songs and laughing.



Between games the girls were able to take in some sights and do some shopping at Lazise and Sirmione.  The girls entered Lazise by walking through a castle.  They ate lunch at various Italian cafes and wandered through the small town.  Sirmione was also filled with shops and more importantly, tons of places to get Gelato!!!
