CAJ just literally finished beating ASIJ and had no time to rest before playing the British School Of Tokyo. We were sluggish at times throughout the first half, but played tough defense to hold off an attacking British team. The British scored first, but CAJ fought back and scored before the end of the half to tie it at 1-1. In the second half, CAJ contolled the ball and scored again to go ahead 2-1. Victory was in sight with 5 minutes to go, but we had an unlucky hand ball in the penalty area and the British scored to tie. We went for the victory, but the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Goals: Kei M. - 2 Our record was 5-2-1 for the year! Great job B team!

CAJ had the momentum early in the first half and had several chances to score, but things didn't go our way. By halftime, we were down 1-0 and the momentum had shidted entirely to St. Mary's. Then, St. Mary's scored again midway through the 2nd half and seemed to be coasting to a 2-0 victory. But, CAJ started to pressure St. Mary's everywhere with about 10 minues to play and we scored 2 goals in the last 6 minutes to tie 2-2! If there had been 2 more minutes, we might have been able to score one more goal. Fantasic finish! Goals: Chong Fun L., Akira K.

CAJ immediately took over the flow of the game and capitalized early to take a 2-1 halftime lead. One of the goals was an own goal, but it happened because of CAJ's intense pressure in front of their goal. They kept up the intensity and struck first in the second half for a 3-0 lead. Aoba struck next with 1 goal before CAJ answered back for a 4-1 lead. The defense played steady the rest of the way and played to a 4-1 victory! CAJ goals: Kaiya W., Kelly J.,and 2 own goals

The B team suffered its first loss of the season to a good ASIJ team. Our team played valiantly despite several players having injuries and playing under a typhoon rain part of the game. The final score was 4-0, but the score was not indicative of how close the game was until the last 10 minutes. Godd hustle B team!

CAJ played another ASIJ team who were quite taller and older than CAJ. It was like David versus Goliath. CAJ was not intimidated. In this last game of the year, ASIJ managed to pull out a 4-0 win against a resilient CAJ team. CAJ never stopped charging and never gave up!

CAJ battled furiously and was relentless in their attacks on the ASIJ goal, but the ASIS defense was able to recover. Or defense also was tougher and did not give away any goals. It was a defensive battle that ended in a 0 - 0 tie. Good job CAJ!

The CAJ C teamers battled against a 7th and 8th grade teamw hose players were much bigger than us. But, CAJ was not intimidated and played with heart! The result was in ASIJ's favor, but we are so proud of the way CAJ played wit heart and intensity to the very end! Keep up the good work! CAJ goal: Daniel S.

The C team hit the field with intensity from the kickoff and never relented. The never let up and kept applying pressure through out the entire game to win 4-1 over a good ASIJ C team. Way to go C team! Goals scored by: Franchette K. , Michael C., Donkyu H., Daniel S.

Our C team was behind 2-0 at halftime and into the second half, but rallied back with intense hustle all over the field to score 4 consecutive goals win a thrilling come-from-behind win 4-3! Goals: Franchette K. (2), Priscilla P. and Michael C.

Game 1: CAJ 13, YIS 25; Game 2: CAJ 15, YIS 25. The girls got off to a slow start in both games as they were very tentative. As the games progressed they began to be more aggressive and were much more competitive.

Last Game of the Season!!! We started on the wrong foot on this one, Nishimachi was the first team to get a couple of points, soon CAJ, cached up, excellent bump-set-spike, by Nicole Aoki and Caroline Hancock. The first set ended 25 to 16 after a couple of important plays from Caitlin Wilson, Passaca Hattayanont, EunEi Hong and Abi Climacosa. The Second set was as exciting as the 1st one, we started by 5 excellent serves from Hanna Nanri, followed by 3 more serves from Marcy Nelson, after a few plays we had a lead of 10 points, but that wasn't enough for the girls, Mirrie Smith and Yuri Ishihara contributed with more point with their unstoppable serves. This last set gave CAJ the victory, 25 - 14. Excellent Job Girls!! Excellent Season! We Praise our Lord for this experience and the friendship and fellowship He built between us. Go Knights!!!!

Good job girls! Well we started the day losing the first set, the girls fought really hard to stop ISSH from winning it but it ended in 20-25. With this result they came back very strong on the second set, winning 25-10. The final set was again close and difficult, we won 15-12. An important piece of the puzzle to win this game was the consistency in our teams serving. Go Knights!
