Girls win first game of pre-season, Nov. 25

Another session of soccer has begun, for the Girls Varsity it means to prepare for the games to come. The girls have been practicing and preparing for their game against Hanford West which took place on Nov. 25.

When the day came, nerves and tensions were high for the first pre-season game. Hanford West is currently in division three, while the Eagles are in sixth.

Freshman and first year soccer player, Cayla Rivas, was excited to play with her friends in her first game.

“I am used to being in situations where I am under pressure,” Rivas said. “I wasn’t really that nervous; our coach prepared us well and gave us advice to play our best. Since this being the first game I could definitely improve in a lot of areas.”

The outcome of this game could determine where the Eagles stand in playoffs. Throughout the game, both teams battled in out with many shots on goal. Despite the division difference the Eagles played with determined minds.

Hanford’s aggressiveness forced the Eagles to step up and play their best. After countless corner kicks and shots on goal, the Eagles were able to earn a score from Jenny King in the late second half. The Eagles walked off the field with a win and a score of 1-0.

Second year returner, Jenny King, walks of the field with smiles and feeling proud of their win.

“That was my first goal that I’ve made while playing on varsity,” King said. “It was a hard battle against Hanford and to score and win the game made it so much better. I feel more confident in myself to play my best and I am excited for the rest of the season.”

Senior, Gabriela Siqueiros, is proud of how well the team played and is looking forward to winning many more games.

“With the limited time of practice we had we played well as a team,” Siqueiros said. “Coming out of that game there were a few little things we could fix but overall we did great. We could definitely use more communication on the field but I was content with the win we had.”
