After waiting over a year to play our first soccer game, the team put their heart and soul out on the field. Our defense, controlled by center backs, Claudia Drake and Jillian Klaver, made countless crucial stops. Keeper Lily Usher made 8 saves, one of which held off a late breakaway shot that she skillfully parried over the crossbar. For some, this was their first time stepping foot onto a high school game field. As the first half progressed, the team started to come into their own, making strong runs up the middle and looking to build up solid passing combinations. Our offensive attack was led by Alaynie Drury and Leah Miller, who played tough in the midfield, setting up attacks for Alana Dotts and the rest of the team. The scoreline certainly doesn't give justice to the impressive play, field vision, and grit shown by our team. Our biggest struggle was putting the ball in the back of the net, as we failed to score on any of our 23 shots. This team continues to persevere regardless of any setbacks they face. The coaching staff is so proud of our team and look forward to continued growth amongst this positive, committed, and resilient group of young ladies.
