A new line up means new opportunities. Last night the girls soccer team took home a win against Firestone with a 5-1 trouncing of the Falcons. Sophomores Colleen Rosen and Sholar Peit and freshman Mackenzie Beke all started in their first varsity soccer game. Gracie McGee and Margaret Woods traded positions for the night by switching from forwards to outside mids. The Libertin sisters, Juliana and Maria, took on the roll of back row sweepers.

With tremendous defense in the first half and an outstanding goal by Juliana Libertin on a pretty assist by junior Gabby Corwin, the team hustled off the field with the score of 1-0.

During the second half, the Knights asserted themselves and dominated. Juliana Libertin had another goal assisted this time by Maria Libertin. Senior Jessacca Gironda along with sophomore Alexis Becker followed with goals. Finally Corwin, a defensive player, scored her first goal of the season on a free kick.

Firestone didn’t score until junior Alana Gaither had a last minute free kick.

The girls play St V-M, Saturday, Sept. 26 at 1:00 p.m.
