Janelle’s team played their last game of the 2013/2014 seasontoday.  Having clinched the league championship last game proved to be beneficial as they dropped today’s game by a score of 2-1.  Regardless, they are league champions and will play in the European Champions League starting in the fall.

Janelle’s team played their third game in the past week today.  With a 3-0 victory, Fortuna has clinched the gold medal for the season.   They will play the final game of the season next weekend.

Janelle has now been a part of two gold medal winning teams in the past year.  First with Aland United for the 2013 season in Finland and now with Fortuna Hjorring for their 2013/2014 season in Denmark.  What an awesome experience for her, and I feel very fortunate that we are able to follow along for the ride.
