This year the girl’s soccer team is 4 and 9 overall, and their section record is 3-6. The team only has one senior, but they do have a lot of juniors. The captains this year are junior Lauren Reese and senior Holly Donaldson. This year’s team has a lot of underclassmen, so there is promise for next year, and the future beyond that looks bright as well. One surprise player is freshmen Brittney Mavrich. She has been one of the star goal scorers this season. The Bulldogs are playing hard and having a respectable season. When asked about the season thus far, Caitlin Frain said, “this season is sort of going the way I expected, but I believe that we could be doing better.” The girl’s soccer team has been a powerhouse in their section the last few seasons. Although this year is not going exactly the way they wanted, they are still working hard and having fun. As stated before, the Bulldogs only have one senior this school year, and it is very hard to win without the leadership that upperclassmen can provide. With that being said, it has opened the window for a lot of underclassmen, freshmen especially. The younger players have had to step in and play a significant role right away. They have done well so far and have been getting better as the year has gone on. With the underclassmen maturing quickly and the return of some upperclassmen next year, the Bulldogs should be a threat to win their section in years to come.
