The Girls
Varsity Soccer team had a close game yesterday against Rothesay Park
School, with a 0-0 tie. The girls played a strong and impressive first game of
the season. Way to go girls! A shout out goes to the keeper Maiwenn
Torrecilla, who stopped several shots on net. The next game will be tomorrow
against Hampton Middle School.
Good luck to our JV Girls Soccer team as they host
their first game today at 4pm.
