On Monday, the JV co-ed soccer team traveled to Williamstown to play Pine Cobble School and won their fourth straight game, 8-0. Anders G-B netted the first three goals of the game. Other scorers included Atticus R (two goals and an assist), Anna P-C (assisted by Julien T C), Ruby C, and Gus G (assisted by Sam B). Julien T C played a strong game on offense and bravely agreed to tend the goal for the entire second half, while Sam B had his best performance of the season. The lopsided score allowed many Aardvarks to play unfamiliar positions and to work on their passing skills.

Aislyn J (3rd), Paloma HS (4th), and Katie T (25th) ran strong races for the girls.

Girls Varsity Soccer had another tough game for on Thursday with a 4-0 loss against Eagle Hill. Our offense pushed hard in the second half which allowed us to have several great shots on goal. Our defense was nearly unstoppable, as was our goalie. Unfortunately, the opposing team had some great kicks which snuck their way into the goal. Kudos to the team for their indomitable spirit!
