A really well fought game today, but we came up short against a talented St. Huberts team.

Our girls are working hard each day to step up into the vacated shoes of a strong graduated class from last year. However, with our first week of play having included two really strong opponents, the girls have had to grow up fast. I think today we took our next step of growth and maturity. We came into half time down 1-0, and our girls committed to coming out in the second half and responding. That response came midway through the second half when Quinn Rozanski hit a beautiful free kick from 20 yards out, over the goalies head and into the top right corner of the goal. While St. Huberts did score a second goal, our girls dug in and created a number of really good chances throughout the half. We went toe to toe with a really athletic team and never backed down. This is maturity happening that will pay off in the months ahead.

I thought that Senior Back Violet Levin and Junior Back Agnes Kroll played a solid game today, making scoring opportunities difficult for Huberts. Additionally Sophomore midfielder Sammy Pennisi continues to mature in her role in the middle of the field , growing in her ability to establish a presence in that space while maintaining composure in the intensity of that position.

I am looking forward to seeing the steps of growth and maturity our girls take next week.
