The girls soccer team overwhelmed the 1-5 Kennedy Cavaliers 2-0 Sept. 27, recording another win to boost its record to 5-1.
The Vikes came out strong at the whistle with a different starting line-up that instantly proved to be effective.
Defenders Kristen Bissell and Cristina Valianatos were among the new starters that helped the Vikes shut out the Cavaliers on defense, defender Emily Martin said.
The Vikes tallied the only goals of the game in the first half with goals by forward Andrea McDonald and defender Claire Severe.
During halftime, the team focused on making adjustments on their game to be even more efficient.
“In the second half we talked about how we could change our formation, change the way we play the field and make what we were doing a little more productive,” Martin said.
The Vikes had limited time to execute their plans, howver, as the game was cut short about ten minutes into the second half due to lightning.
The team seeks revenge against the Churchill Bulldogs, who ended the Vikes’ season in the second round of play-offs, in a rivalry match that will take place at home on Oct. 3. Boys soccer will take the field after the girls, keeping the crowd excited on Community Night.
