Varsity Girls Soccer: Setting Out to Repeat!
by Alex Farrokhian

The girls varsity soccer team is beginning another promising season. After winning CCS last year the girls anticipate another successful season, working hard to achieve this goal. Preseason fitness training began in late October followed by team tryouts in November. Most of the girls also played for club teams during the club season so the team had no problem jumping into intensive practices and skill development. Competition for spots on the team was intense as only two starters from last year’s team graduated, leaving no room for freshman on the team this year.

The varsity girls will be a mature team with strong leadership from their senior players: Alisa Walsh, Weynab Admassu, Lauren Vroom, Janelle Raymaker, Sarah Marr, Cristina Masurat, Chelsea Chard, and Danielle Londre. The girls played three preseason games against Saratoga, Leland, and Live Oak. Their league season started with a bang yesterday with a game against Saint Francis. They also went to a football game and volleyball game together to promote team bonding. Last year the girls did gift exchanges, team dinners and other activities that they all agreed where great fun and promoted team unity and plan to do so again this year.
