Last night, April 20, the girls’ soccer team traveled to Earlham to play against Winterset. The varsity game, which was the only game of the night, ended with a loss of 0-9. The team was down their varsity goalie, senior Haley Carlson, due to State FFA, but freshman Halsey Bailey stepped up to defend the Trojans’ net.

Although last night was a tough game, assistant coach Dan Vargason said, “In last night’s game, the girls had better contact than the rest of the season and good defense.” The first half ended with a score of 0-3. Vargason also said that the girls are just trying to get better every game and learn the game better.
With these losses comes room for improvement. Vargason said, “I think a lot of it is skills that need to be worked on, and off season work on speed and agility.” The girls have two more games this week; Thursday, April 21 vs Denison (at Denison) and Friday, April 22 vs Treynor (at home).
