Senior midfielders, Julia Spessard '23 and Eva Wuerth '23, combined for 8 of our 12 goals in solid win over Independence High School.
The Tigers continue to strengthen their "flexibility" muscle as we had second game time change in two weeks. It was a beautiful night at the River Campus and the Tigers came ready to compete! After a slow start defensively, a quick time out pep talk from senior captain Olivia Jacobs '23 got everyone on track. The rest of the game was all USN. Kate Vaughn '24 anchored our defense with 7 saves and only one goal allowed. Kat Pendergrass '23 and Olivia Hess '24 continue to improve on their defensive positioning and Olivia Jacobs '23 led us in caused turnovers with six, including two interceptions.
In addition to Eva and Julia's eight goals, Annie Cox '24 (1), Lyla Ross '26 (1), and Margaret McKay (2) contributed to our scoring tally.
