3. Girls Soccer – Yesterday your girls soccer team had a dominating performance vs Wallaceburg and got their first win of the season. Jenna M opened the scoring on a beautiful corner kick that found its way into the back of the net. Lainie R would add a second goal shortly after with a great kick that would ricochet it’s way into the net. This was a strong team effort that would see the Eagles build pressure all game and spend the whole second half in the Tartan’s end. Brooklyn M and Keisha M shared the shutout in net. Great game ladies! Our season continues next Tuesday with another home game vs John MacGregor.
4. Boys Soccer – Your boys soccer team also had a strong performance vs Wallaceburg. It finished 1-0 with Ryder M scoring halfway through the second half with a strong individual effort. The whole team played a great game against a strong Wallaceburg team. Rourke B and Nic D both had excellent games where they controlled play along the sidelines. Brennan S continued his shutout streak with another strong effort. The boys picked up their 2nd straight win to open the season. Our season continues next Tuesday with another home game bs John MacGregor. The Boys team will practice again Monday after school.
