The JV girls soccer team opened up the week with double header action against two of the toughest opponents in Southern Chester County. On Tuesday, the team played a strong Conestoga squad to a 0-0 tie. Thanks in large part to the completely selfless play of goalie Paige Harlan and the technically efficient control of game MVP Payton Jaenisch in the midfield, the Indians were able to stave off 'Stoga pressure.
Without much time to recover from such taxing play, the girls stepped onto the pitch on Wednesday evening to face Downingtown East. Goalie efforts were equally amazing this game with a stunning penalty kick save from Abbie Hug early in the first. The visitors would go up by a goal at halftime and they would strike again in the second half, but the Indians would not back down. Thanks to persistent efforts from Julia Capperella and Erin O'Leary, Claire Matson was able to knock a shot by the keeper to end the game 1-2. The team looks move to the other side of the win column in game competition next week...Go U!
