Amelia Wilson '29 and Mattie James Bass '29 each tally two goals. May Cox '28 finishes with one.
An exciting game from our JV girls' soccer team on our first chilly night of the season! The focus was on keeping our shape and getting the ball out wide into the attack. We continue to see improvement on staying in position and we loved seeing more communication on the field!
Sydney Lasher '29 and May Cox '28 were strong up top for the Tigers, getting several scoring opportunities right away. Amelia Wilson '29 played well in the midfield, particularly getting back defensively and helping out our backline with breakaways. Rosie Hauser '30, Savannah Ross '30, and Alyvia Thompson '30 all played strong at the outside back position, getting the ball forward and wide. Norah Clarke '29 had another strong game at the outside midfield position and we can see her soccer IQ growing!
It's always fun to score lots of goals and always fun to win! Great game, Tigers!
