The girls’ varsity soccer team beat West Potomac on Friday with an overwhelming score of 4-0. Two goals were scored by senior Michelle Burnett, one from sophomore Isabella Jimenez and one from sophomore Caroline Lowery. They take on Mount Vernon and West Springfield this week, hoping to improve their record of 2 wins and 3 losses with one tie.

Despite the losses, the girls have high hope for the rest of the season.

“I could have taken more control of my box and been more aggressive on corner kicks,” junior Daniela Salinas said, “but we all worked much better as a team than we did previously. I have really high expectations for our upcoming games. I know that we’ll do good from what I saw last game.”

The team has proved how well they work together with each other through their multiple wins so far.

“We have a lot of strengths, including our individual talent and our ability to play off each other so easily,” junior Rachael Allshouse said.

However, there is room for improvement. Because of their losing record last year, they are determined to do better this season.

“I am expecting to have better chances to win than in years past because of the new players on the team,” Allshouse said.

According to Allshouse, the girls’ biggest competition this year is Lake Braddock, but they aren’t at all fazed by the Bruins’ defenses. They will be very prepared by the time the two teams meet after spring break, and Salinas has a dauntless attitude about the Bruins.

“I expect us to go far this year,” Salinas said, “and hopefully make it to the finals for the district title.”
