“This was a playoff game for us basically we needed this win to have a chance to make the playoffs,” said varsity girls head coach Nick Grogan. “With last nights win we are 2-0 in region play and have scored 14 goals and the defense still hasn’t allowed a goal in region play. The ladies really stepped up their game tonight and played an excellent game. We moved the ball well and possessed the ball for most of the game. It’s the best game we have played as a team so far this season. I’m very proud of the effort we gave tonight and I hope it will carry into our game Friday night vs Indian Springs.”

We kept our composure throughout the second half and played some good soccer. Our defensive play, especially in the second half, from all of the guys led to our scoring opportunities. I’m really proud of my guys, of their level headedness in some rough spots, and of their overall play. This moves us to 2-0 in the area and 6-4 overall.”
