Shorecrest MD Girls 1, Out of Door Academy 4, Nov. 16, 2010

The Middle Division Girls Soccer squad opened its 2010-2011 season on the road in Sarasota at Out of Door Academy, losing 4-1 on Tuesday, November 16.

Despite the lopsided score, the game had plenty of good news for the future. Katie J. played a perfect first quarter in goal, coming back on defense late to support Olivia D., who had never played an official game in goal before. Olivia made an impressive debut in the position, stopping nine shots on goal, many times bringing her teammates on the bench to their feet, cheering.

Sophie W. scored the Chargers' only goal after the first half, tightening the score to 2-1, where it remained until the last few moments when the Thunder launched two rockets into the goal. Taylor A. and Kendall P. each had a shot on goal; multiple offsides calls against Shorecrest short-circuited several scoring drives.

Other highlights included Amanda P. taking charge of the defense and preventing several shots from scoring. The defense and midfield included some excellent play by rookies including Laura H., Wendy D., Sage F., Victoria V., Sydney B., Nicole L. and Camille P.
