After a two-week break, the varsity girls soccer team had a home game against the Crestwood Red Devils this past Monday. The girls played a solid and intense game, and even though the contest came close to being rained out, they pulled through and gave their best.
The team of Kelsey Bruzek, Emily Gerry, Hailey Nguyen, Sofia Collins, Jaida Dominguez, Ella Fowler, Delaney David, Alyssa Todorovich, Katrina Gasper, Jenny Tran, and Andriana Rodriguez played great defense throughout the game, communicated well, and even did switches to try and confuse the Red Devils.
At the end of the first half, the scoreboard was locked in a 0-0 tie.
Although the Hurricanes were blanked in the first half by the Red Devil´s goalie, the girls did an excellent job of following through with their plays and dropping back when needed.
In the second half, the competitiveness continued.
With a somewhat lucky shot, the Red Devils scored the first and last goal of the game, leaving the Hurricanes on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat.
With the loss, the Hurricanes currently hold a record of 4-2-1.
“It was one of our best games. We lost very late in the game, and it challenged us skillswise to help prepare us for success for the next game,” stated Fowler.
The girls are excited for their next game tomorrow morning (11:00) against Brush. They plan on coming back from this loss and continuing their strong start to the season.
Go Canes!
