One thing, by shooting at f2.8, you're limiting your dof. I would normally shoot sports using shutter priority, but you can also make sure that you get the aperture that you want by adjusting your ISO.
In this case, I'd select a lower shutter speed, and make sure my aperture was around f8 or 11. You'll want a shutter speed sufficient to stop the action, 1/500th or even 1/1000th depending on the lighting conditions.
Thanks I have another game today and it's rainy and overcast so I'll make adjustments accordingly
