I enjoy how Kate typically stands right next to Hope, like a faithful XO to Hope’s Captain.

Celebrating Lyndsey Patterson’s goal!

Kara and Veronica cheerfully prepare for the match start!

After she scored in the second half, Stephanie Cox was mobbed by her teammates. She had been near the bench, so everyone on the bench ran to her, and then all her teammates on the field came in to celebrate.

Hope hung back for a moment, and then started heading towards the team, but stopped just short as the team headed back onto the field. The Rapids were already in position by this point to restart, but Hope waited a moment longer before returning to her post to give Stephanie a big hug.

It was adorable.
