"Look" Kristie lets out, tired. "The starting XI for tonight's game is here"
When the blonde actually looks at the paper - that Jill and Dawn purposely left there on purpose, since the game is in less than an hour and a half - her eyes go wide, as well as her smile :

When she sees the piece of paper, Steph immediately looks at Kristie, before yelling : "That's my bitch right here !" As the girls are exchanging a high five, Abby rolls her eyes. When Steph notices that, she immediately walks back to the blonde and quickly pecks her lips. "And of course my woman is getting the start as well !"
"You won't make up for it for now, laddie" Abby lets out, walking away from Steph, who suddenly has a shocked face on.
Lindsey, who is just walking past them, starts smirking : no wonder those two are together, they just are as sarcastic and savage as the other. And the forward is not the only one to think that : the whole team does.
She sits not next to Allie, as Ash claps her hands.
"Well, since I won't play today, I'll join Janine on the stands !" she exclaims, smiling. "Good luck girls, kick some butts out there !"
"Wait" Julie calls, getting up as well. "I'm coming with you."
Soon, the two girls walk out of the locker room, after the goalie congratulated Kelsey for the start, even though the other keeper started more important games in the past. Then, only the starting players and the bench remain on the locker room. Becky calls for a huddle, as the girls are positioned in a circle.
The captain then gives her speech :
"Remember : tight defense, wide play-making, and the victory is ours girls ! I also need you to play together, until the end : support each other on that pitch, even if there are mistakes or goals for Clemson. I want to see an united group of girls today, because that's what we need to go far this year ! I want the newbies to be encircled, in a way that allows each one of you to give them instructions if you feel like it. Kelley ?" she then calls, and the brunette winks at her captain, captain. "You will supervise Rose today. And Kealia ? You will keep an eye on Mal, got it ?"
The two experimented players nod, as the newbies are quite happy. Gibby, on the other hand, is freaking out : of course it's only her second game, and she was hoping to get some advises as well.
Jill, after smiling at her captain, says :
"As far as the subs are concerned, I will sub Rose out during the second half or when I see you're tired" the British coach explains in a confident tone. "It's your first game, so it's going to be difficult. When I do the sub, Kelley you will take her spot, as Megan will enter to replace you, got it ?"
