Answer: Shauna accused Taissa of deliberately breaking a teammate's leg in soccer practice.

Their teammate Allie will miss the nationals because Taissa broke her leg in a practice game. Allie freezes in big games and Taissa was worried she'd wreck their chances of winning the nationals so said they had to do something about her. It was a hard and unnecessary tackle.
