Girls Junior Varsity Soccer vs. Thornapple Kellogg HS School

Game Date
Mar 31, 2021
Score
EAGLES : 1
THORNAPPLE KELLOGG HIGH SCHOOL: 0

For the 2nd game of their season, the Eagles Girls Junior Varsity team hosted Middleville Thornapple-Kelloggsville (TK). With the focus in practice being on shape and positioning, an Eagles defense led by sophomores Anna Angell and Kaitlyn Aupperlee proved difficult to break down. The foundation created by these players, including freshmen defenders Ally Schrotenboer and Natalie Gray, created freedom for players further up the pitch and opened up a splendid first half of transition soccer.

Going into the 2nd half with a 0-0 deadlock between the Eagles and the Trojans, fatigue was evident between both sides. With neither team connecting fluid passes, rotations were key and substitutions provided depth. A key element of the game, attacking space, was spearheaded by sophomore Danielle Barton as she sped up when others slowed down. Working together with her midfield unit and connecting with attackers alike, she put her team in positions to score. In the chaos of it all, freshman Logan Campbell proved to be a constant, finding the ball and connecting for a clean 1-touch finish to score the Eagles first goal of the season.

Heading into spring break, players will be on hiatus and resume play on 4/14 against Lowell.
