After a very extensive practice schedule over the summer, The Lady Lions Varsity and Junior Varsity soccer teams prepared for tough competition this fall.
Mr. Ritter, the Varsity coach, and Ms. Ciccarelli, Junior Varsity coach, have worked their players hard, preparing them for the 2011 season.
On September 26th the Junior Varsity team went up against Manalapan High School, playing a tough game that ended in a tie after an impressive goal from Annie Rozzo (number 31). Captains Andrea Sanchez (27) and Kristen Hassenkamp (26) commented on the team’s status so far this season. “The Girls are playing better and better every game,” Andrea Sanchez said after the hard fought game. Kristen Hassenkamp also said, “We play our best every game, and many of our losses should have been victories.”
The team has worked hard on and off the field with an impressive practice schedule that includes workouts and training between games on Saturdays and Sundays.
Although the team has met with much opposition on the field, they remain positive as their skills improve, eagerly awaiting a chance for redemption.
