Girls soccer looking for a turn around in their season
As girls soccer progresses through the season, the team is currently on a four-game losing streak.
Coming off of a nasty loss to T.C. Williams High School, they are hoping to bounce back this week against long time rival WT Woodson.
Their current record 1-4 doesn’t show the tremendous work theses ladies have put in since the beginning of the season.
From waking up on Saturday mornings for practice to after school practice, the girls have been able to improve a lot these couple of weeks.
“Our strength is offense, and I think we work well together,” junior Gabriela Jordan said. “We are able to do through balls well.”
Recently, the girls have been struggling to win games.
“We struggle to communicate well, and next week’s game against WT Woodson is going to be tough,” said Jordan.
Having lost four straight games, the girls are looking to improve their record by working on their weakness and talking about how they plan to improve.
“We need to start working together as a team, and start talking,” junior Kasey Ritchitt said. “We should also improve our defense. If we work hard in practice on it, I think we can improve our record and start winning more.”
While there is a lot of the season left, many girls look at the season as a learning point and hope to learn from their loses in order to win more games in the future.
“I think we are definitely learning a lot from this season, even though we have more losses than wins,” senior Brooke Thadeus said. “There is still room for improvement for future games to come and I think with more team bonding and hard practices we’ll do better.”
Although the girls team seems to be struggling, they plan on taking a stand and turning their season around and snapping their losing streak against rival WT Woodson.
“Woodson is going to be a tough game to win, but with the right attitude and determination I think we’ll be able to pull an upset against them,” Ritchitt said.
Even though the season isn’t going as planned for the girls varsity soccer team, they hope to turn it around as fast as possible.
