An eighth grader scored the winning goal for her soccer team in the summer of 2000 at a tournament in Biloxi,MS.
The game went into overtime. The score was tied. The next shot would have won the game. Merri Shaffer stepped up and led her team to victory! The final score was 3-2.
It was a very happy moment for Shaffer: "It was so exhilarating! They lifted me on to their shoulders and carried me away!"
This was Shaffer's first time ever playing soccer. Her team was a recreational league. She received a trophy for her accomplishment.
Merri Shaffer, 19, is currently a sophomore at The University of Tennessee majoring in journalism and electronic media. She no longer plays soccer, but she 'will always remember that winning goal.'

*The second paragraph uses the several short sentences in a row/ also use "The" to begin most of the sentences in that paragraph.
*A space needs to be addedbetween the location and state (appreviation?)
*The last quote should have quotation marks, b/c it is not a quote within a quote.
