Solar had Ecnl players on the field all year long but there is no comparison between the lake highlands team and the full Ecnl roster for Solar, Texans or FC Dallas.

The Solar Lake Highlands team actually played Kicks to a closer game at the beginning of the season with no ECNL players and a 02 goalie.  Bring a few ECNL players and take a 4-0 loss....go figure.  I think this goes back to team chemistry which allows teams to put the best product on the field.

Regarding game 2.....I will say...the ECNL players did play most of the first half....went to half-time 0-0.  Lost an ECNL player at the end of the first half on a hard foul that resulted in a broken wrist and she did not return.  Second half....Kicks score in the first 10 mins on a nice run.  Most ECNL players pulled with about 20 mins to play and Kicks scored on a great set play and a corner ( if I am remembering correctly)  Have to give Kicks props...they could be the best in NTX on set plays....share your secret sauce please!

End result....3 goals in the last 25 mins and kicks take a 4-0 victory.  

Tomorrow will be a great, competitive game as the Solar Lake Highlands team and players have accomplished a lot this season.
