Beginning the 2013 Girls’ Varsity soccer season, the squad looked strong and they have remained strong all season.
Senior players Vanessa
Ludka, Emily Gorrivan, Emily Gilman, Ariana Davidson, Laura McKenna, Lauren
Shoemaker and Kate Kneeland add a lot of experience and depth to a smooth
running machine.
A core group of juniors
including Cassie Symonds, Luisa Sbardella, Shannon Valente, Hannah Haskell,
Melissa Morton, Jenna Soucy, Liz Mycock, Alana Duke and Jordan Sargent have
been playing together since third grade and complement the senior leaders.
Add the talented
sophomores Madison Mauro, Ciera Berthiaume and Katie Herzig and the addition of
freshman Holly Spencer and that makes a rock solid team who has outscored their
opponents this season 61-2.
If you ask the team,
they are only as strong as their defensive members Ariana Davidson, Emily
Gilman and Jordan Sargent along with Goalkeepers Kate Kneeland and Elizabeth
Mycock are a force to be reckoned with and an ominous presence on the field. Their
defensive presence lends itself to great passing for the midfielders and front
line. Accurate crosses and field position are two of the reasons the team is
having as much success scoring goals.
Looking ahead to the end
of the season, senior leadership and strong coaching are expected with the
addition of James Stewart to complement the coaching staff of Deb Lebel, Jen
Sullivan and Jeff Fish. The Lady Eagles are truly blessed. While the post
season is on the horizon, the Lady Eagles are taking nothing for granted. They
play and live by the motto “Offense wins games, but defense wins championships”.
The next home game for
the girls will be Saturday, October 19, 9 a.m. for JV and 11 a.m. for varsity.
