The players fought for position as the Thunder’s goalie threw the ball toward the tall center. The center easily blocked the ball, whipping around and dribbling fast down the field. The Thunder’s coach yelled and jumped up and down on the sidelines.

The girl came closer, and Alex tensed for action. Christie ran up to the girl and stole the ball. Alex saw her looking around for someone to pass to. This was her chance!

“Here, Christie!” she yelled, jumping up and waving her arms. But Christie glanced over and looked away fast. She passed instead to Brooke, even though she had two Thunder defenders guarding her.

Why didn’t Christie pass to me? Alex wondered. She was way closer and more open than Brooke.

But Alex didn’t have time to think about the situation for very long. The Striker center had regained control of the ball again and was dribbling toward her, fast.

Alex swooped in front of the girl, neatly stealing the ball. Then, as carefully as she could, dribbled forward and shot to Nadia. There. She breathed a tiny sigh of relief.

The whole team had seen her stay in position and shoot to the offense, just like she was supposed to.

But her teammates must not have noticed. Just before halftime, another forward, Marissa, had the ball on a corner kick. Alex positioned herself for the ball, but Marissa looked at her and looked away. She shot straight to Christie, who dribbled it up to Nadia.
