Weekly Recap

Posted by Ignacio Ponce on Mar 24 2016 at 11:53AM PDT in 2016 Girls Soccer

The Girls’ Freshmen B Soccer Team has been working hard and having fun as they prepared for their first games this week. They faced off against Niles West and Evanston and came home with 2 wins

.Freshman A: We had our first win of the season this week against Niles West 3-1. We played a great game and really played like a team with good communication and ball movement. We are looking forward to getting back into the heart of the season after spring break. Have fun and Stay safe!

The sophomores are off to a great start this season. We have learned a lot of new set plays and the players have been incredibly flexible with trying out new positions. We have had a significant amount of early season injuries, but everyone is bouncing back! Our current record is 2-1. We started off with a loss to Naperville Central on our home turf. Despite the result, the coaches view the game as a win because we were given the opportunity to learn a lot about our new athletes and strategize about how to bring the girls together to create a cohesive unit. Our team is incredibly coachable and they have improved a significant amount in the last two weeks. We ended last week with a 6-0 win against Niles West and beat Riverside Brookfield 3-0 at home this week. Tactically, we changed many things around, including the implementation of a new high pressure block and an aggressive mentality that has allowed us to dominate the flow of play for the majority of the game. We are really proud of how quickly the girls have changed their mindsets and they are steadfastly building a level of mental toughness that will propel us forward towards our conference season which starts in a few weeks. Tonight we head out to Nazareth to compete in our last game before spring break. We are really excited for the rest of the season!

Varsity: Varsity has started the season strong with a 3-1 despite a loss last night to Nazareth HS. Our season opener was full of excitement skill. The Huskies Defeated Naperville 1-0 to start the season on the winning side. We then traveled to Niles and again found the net winning 1-0. Our home opener continued with a win against RB 2-1. Unfortunately we fell short last night 1-0 against Nazareth but the girls are ready to rebound and continue on the winning streak. Season record 3-1

Have a great spring break!
