Game 2 against Cary Academy on 3/16
Our Warriors matched up with Cary Academy on Thursday, March 16th. The Warriors had just come off of a season opening win against Ravenscroft the day before so emotions were still running high.

Once again the Warriors had a balanced offensive attack led by Marion Cella who had 4 goals. Heath Brooks and Anna Hauser chipped in with 2 goals a piece. Reagan Hueman and Henley Dunn added 1 goal each to the Warrior's total. "I am also incredibly happy with our defense this game and even though we have more to learn I must give a shout-out to Annie Erickson, Liza Lewis, Addie Howard, and Tatom Good for not letting Cary Academy score a goal in the first half!! Last big shoutout to Charlotte Hanna for her continuous saves as a goalie, she has not let the opposing team score over 4 goals so far this season." -Coach Eastmann

Frances Fischer playing in only her 2nd soccer game did great and is really finding her feet and understanding the game. “Really proud of the effort despite the score and the challenge of playing teams with certainly older and more experienced players”, coach Walston said.
SOCCER v. MAGELLAN
The girls soccer team is struggling with injuries but played Magellan who had sixteen experienced 8th graders and three 7th graders. While the team is young they fought very hard with their limited roster. Jordan Holmes did a great job in goal fighting to keep the barrage of shots out while the defense was similarly tested. Despite having a broken arm and wearing a soft cast, Finley Spivey did a great job in the midfield and Avery Black turned away offensive attacks consistently frustrating Magellan’s offense. “So proud of these girls for coming out and playing for themselves and for me”, said coach Walston. “They have a great deal of heart and I am privileged to be coaching this group of young ladies” he added.
