This year’s team is made up of girls from all classes. Each one possesses individual talent, but the best part is that the team works really well together. Everyone picks up where the other teammate may leave off. The teamwork this year is really good. Katheryn Savegnago, Class of 2016 This year the soccer team is full of new talent. With only 10 returning members, we gladly welcomed 16 new teammates. The majority of the players this year are also underclassmen which is very good for the years to come. Captains: Chloe Pettit (Senior), Meredith Schuen (Senior), Kearsten Jedamski (Junior) Seniors: Katheryn Savegnago, Karen Vallado, Juniors: Brenda Ngetich, Mabel Mabena, Davel Parker, Becky Renderos, Sophomores: Katherine Berrios, Jasmine Carcamo, Bethany Edwards, Allie Magtanong, Hannah Sloan, Linsey Smith Freshmen: Mackenzie Hanon, Jillian Herbert, Haley Wolters, Brittany Murillo
Team in Training: Natalia Arellano, Kelly RamirezGarcia, Dona Garcia-Moreno, Krissia Kersey, Jurnee Nealy, Valerie Pichot, Genesis Rivera Congratulation to all the girls who made the team this season! With so many new members, building chemistry can take a while, but what better way to bond than playing a home game against Highland View Academy? Our game was on April 17, a beautiful Sunday with no clouds in the sky. The game began around 1:00 PM, and right from the get go, was quick. In the beginning, SVA and HVA shared possession of the ball about 50/50. One team would take the ball down and get a shot on goal and not too long after, whether by a defender
clearing it or the goalie drop kicking it, the ball would be on the other side of the field and the other team would be driving it in for a goal. Shot after shot was blocked by our goalie Kearsten Jedamski, and their goalie as well, resulting in a half-time score of 0-0. During the first half, Haley Wolters was playing against her cousin who attends HVA. On one of her send ups, her cousin moved in last minute and the ball, which Haley had kicked with lots of power, went directly into her cousin’s face, causing her to fly up into the air, and drop down to the ground. The hit looked very painful but it didn’t seem to bother her and she just kept on playing. When the second half began, both teams were hungry for a goal. Chloe Pettit was now
in goal for us and unfortunately, Katherine Berrios, a very valuable midfielder, was not well and could not play. Less than five minutes into the half, SVA drove the ball down and Mackenzie Hanon scored the first goal of the game and our season. As you can imagine, we were very happy after the goal but HVA was motivated. They wanted a goal, too, and not too shortly after ours, they scored one of their own. The game tied up 1-1 with half-an-hour left of the half. We got back into our rhythm of one side shooting, missing, the other team drilling down, shooting, then the goalie blocking it, just like the first half. HVA scored again with 20 minutes to go. SVA was desperate for a goal but rather than panic, we focused and came together. Kather-
ine Berrios came back in and crossed it over to Mackenzie Hanon, who put in a second goal for SVA. The game was tied up once again, and both teams did their best to score one more goal and win while keeping the other team from scoring again. In the end, the score stayed tied up 2-2 which reflected the teams very well. Both teams had skill enough to score a couple of goals, but in the end, the two teams were pretty evenly matched up, resulting in a tie. I am very proud of our team and everyone who stepped up. This game really showcased the talented team we have this year and gave everyone an opportunity to grow and to shine.
The team this year has been improving every game. I really have fun playing and learning with this team. Chloe Pettit, Team Captain, Class of 2016 1
