Getting back on track

Congratulations to both the JV and Varsity teams for their performances on Thursday. The JV team was able to maintain possession throughout most of the game and got several good looks against the Washington & Lee keeper, and walked away with a hard-earned 2-0 win. Lauren Stewart turned a corner kick into a goal, Jessie Strong scored on a nifty pass from Kelsey Link, and Megan Stewart made sure that Livelsberger didn't have to work too hard in goal. This team continues to play every game with energy and intensity, so keep up the good work!

Varsity continues its trend of playing the role of "cardiac kids" by recovering from a Washington & Lee 2-0 lead by scoring 4 goals in the last 20 minutes to earn the win. Make no mistake about it: W & L's keeper worked very hard, especially considering that the Knights put 39 shots on goal. Michelle Aldinger scored her first varsity goal and also got an assist, Floyd again scored from a different time zone, and Kate Sullivan and Lauren Luttrell also scored. Katie Brewer turned up the intensity on defense, and W & L didn't even sniff the goal in the second half. As a coach, I can honestly say I have never seen this team play with more energy and passion than the second half of that game, and I was proud of the way that Varsity pulled together.
