Needing a mere 8 Maggie Moo points to break the 150 threshold, the Magic amassed 42 points vs the SYC Shockwave to achieve their ice cream dream.
The team was led by Kylie, with 3 "moooves" followed by Janna, Kaylyn, and Megan W with 2 moooves each. For the first time this season, Magic won the battle for loose balls 12 to 8 in what ended up being the team's most complete performance of the season.

Magic Bike Ride
Magic's first social event of the season will be a team bike ride this Saturday (9/30) at 3:00 pm. We'll depart from Partlow's General Store in Ashburn, ride east, and then return to Partlow's. Each rider should bring a few bucks for snacks after the ride. Parents, brothers, and sisters are all welcome on the trip.
We promise to keep everyone on the pavement this year, don't we Phil?
Magic Welcomes Coach Claire Collins to the Team
The new face at Monday's training session was coach Claire Collins, Magic's new professional trainer. Coach Claire is the Girls' Varsity Soccer coach at Broad Run High School, and we're all excited to have her aboard.
Claire takes over for Andrew Ratti. Andrew's been a big part of the Magic's success, and he's been great fun to work with. Unfortunately for us, Andrew's "real" job - Managing Director of Event Transportation Services - has kept him very busy and away from the field. We all thank Andrew for his time and effort. I'm sure we'll see him again in the future. Good coaches are like bad pennies - they just keep turning up.
