Another win...

Beth's team won today, 1-0 again, and once again Beth scored the only goal. Unfortunately, however, she is hurt. Her foot had been bothering her since Tuesday's game and today the pain was really bad. She scored her goal in the 27th minute of the game and several minutes later, the coach pulled her because she was limping. They taped it up during halftime, but it was still bad. She tried letting her play for a few minutes during the second half, but not long. Since the defense was able to keep the other team from scoring, her coach didn't feel the need to put her back in, so she rested her.
So they won their conference tournament championship and go on to the NCAA Division III tournament, probably on Wednesday. They will decide by Monday where and when the game will be. Meanwhile, she's going to try and rest her foot and hope that it's a bit better by Wednesday. She keeps saying she's going to play Wednesday no matter how badly it hurts. This could be their last game and her last game ever...
The pain is below her big toe and runs down into her arch...she says it a different pain than any other she has ever had in her foot. I'm worried that she fractured it, but she says she just wants to play....ATHLETES! What can you do with them?

We have a birthday party to go to tonight and I desperately need a nap. I hope all of you are having a peaceful, blessed weekend....
