Girls' Soccer Jells to Lead Inter-Ac

On the first day of preseason this year, I could immediately tell that we would have a great season ahead of us. Seeing multiple new freshmen with great skill assured me that they would be wonderful assets to our team. We started off the season a little rocky, with a loss in our first game, but that is typically expected for teams who have never played together before. As a few games passed, everything began to click and we started playing as a unit.

Our first Inter-Ac game was an 8-2 win against Springside Chestnut Hill which really got us excited for the other league games ahead of us. Our second league game was away against Agnes Irwin at 7:00 under the lights. Agnes Irwin had a very large student section, sparking the nerves of our team but simultaneously getting us pumped up. We came out of that game with a 3-2 win, leaving us with a 2-0 record in the Inter-Ac. Following that game, we picked up two wins against Notre Dame and Baldwin (4-2 and 4-0), making our Inter-Ac record 4-0. This past Thursday, we had an exciting 2-1 victory over Episcopal in overtime, leaving us with a 5-0 record in the Inter-Ac and highly anticipating a game against our rival, Penn Charter, this Tuesday.
