Varsity Girls’ Soccer
1/27 vs. Houston Christian* • 1-0 WIN
From Coach Amber Clevenger: This was a tough match for our team during a busy week, but we were able to pull through thanks to a late goal by Mary Bannon off of a set piece. This was also our senior night so it was great to be able to honor our seniors, most of who have been an integral part of this program for four years with a win at home! For me, it is bittersweet–these senior girls are very special and I am proud of all they have accomplished and I know that they will do amazing things in the future.
