The Varsity Eagles Girls Soccer team traveled on Friday night take on a tough Gull Lake side. The first half of the match saw both teams battling for possession with the Eagles gaining a slight edge and creating several chances. 15 minutes into the match, Gull Lake earned a corner kick that they converted to a goal, putting the Eagles down 0-1 early in the match. The Eagles continued to play well together, combining with each other through the midfield to build their attack. 

The Eagles came out in the 2nd half with ready to attack. The 2nd half saw the hosts mount only 1 attack at goal (turned away by an aggressive play from the Eagles goalkeeeper, Olivia May) while the Eagles produced 11 shots. Still down by a goal and with time running short, the determined Eagles hit both the post and the crossbar with shots in the last 2-minutes of the match, falling just short of producing a draw. Soccer can be a cruel game - the Eagles out shot Gull Lake 14-3 on the night, but came up just short. The determined play of the Eagles demonstrates the heart of this team as they enter two weeks of important matches.

The Eagles return to play on Monday against Forest Hills Northern (6:45 PM @ FHN) and will be hosting EGR on Wednesday night (6:15 @ Gainey) for Senior night.
