During the past week the Lady Reapers began their competitive play. The varsity played three matches as well as the jv team. The weather was very cold and somewhat windy throughout the entire week, not exactly the best soccer weather. Despite that the ladies did pretty well. Varsity lost to both Grant Park and ACC 0-2. In these games our defense was very good, but we struggled to create offensive opportunities. Against Yorkville, a 1-1 tie, we were able to play much better offensively. We were able to create several scoring opportunities and finally able to capitalize on one of them with Amanda Corral scoring the season's first goal.
The jv team also saw some good things. They also lost to Grant Park and Yorkville, but again we saw some good things there. Passing and possession were pretty strong in these matches. The jv team picked up their first win of the season on Saturday as they played Spring Valley Hall. They won 3-2. All three goals were scored in the 2nd half, 2 by Claudia Macias and 1 by Mara K.
Both the varsity and the jv team's have a lot of inexperienced players on them. However, what we have seen in the past week makes us hopefully for the rest of the season. There are many good things that we can build upon in the weeks that follow.
