Boys Soccer: King George Conquered

This week, the boys soccer team came out on top with a 2-1 victory over the King George High School Foxes. The Indians were leading 1-0 before King George scored a goal to force overtime. Fortunately, in the first period of overtime team captain, James Clayberg, scored the winning goal for the Indians.

WEEKLY STATS

James Clayberg, Goals (1) 

Jason Ram, Goals (1) Assist (1)

Micheal Krushinski, Assists (1)

Our Take: 

Boys soccer collects its first win against a fairly strong King Geroge team to move their record to 1-3-1. The team has had a big culture and are starting to see results. It is vital that the team finds an in-district game win soon to keep a playoff push going.

Girls Lacrosse: An Undefeated week

Girls Lacrosse had two games this week both ending in wins. The team took on the Riverbend Bears at home and defeated them 19-13. Senior Julia Etu led the scoring with 6 Goals. The team later that week traveled to Massaponax and triumphed 14-4 with Etu scoring her 200th goal.

WEEKLY STATS

Julia Etu, Goals (11) Assists (3)

Emma Miller, Goals (5)

Abigail Beasley, Goals (1) Assists (1)

Cristina Shumanski, Goals (3)

Gracie Fines, Assists, (2)

Ella Nobriga, Assists, (1)

Our Take: 

This year’s team has tons of fire power with players like Julia Etu and EV McConnell scoring most of the goals each game. However, defense wins championships and the team is loaded with steller defenders such as Senior Karlie Schalk and Junior Maddy Ryan working to keep the goal safe.
