In the beginning...

Great start to the '09 season, Lady Knights. JV played a great game, leaving with a 1-1 tie and dominating most of the afternoon. Kelsey Link scored off of a great feed from Jessie Strong, and Livelsberger made 7 saves in goal. This year's team is already leaps and bounds better than last year, and there is a lot of untapped potential remaining.

Varsity played 75 intense minutes before leaving with a 0-0 tie. Perry and Stidham combined to make several nice saves, but it was the improved play of the defense that led the way to the shutout. Lauren Luttrell, Tori Huber, Sam Corker, Tiffany Hare, and Erica Kreutzer all looked great on the back line. Cook made the move to midfield, where she connected on several nice passes.

What we learned last night is that this team is ready and willing to work hard. It is up to us to work in practice to maximize the results of these efforts. In other words, we need to make the easy things easier, and the hard things second nature. It will come in time... remember that we have only been on the practice field twice all year!
