Girls Soccer 2014-09-18 vs Stanwood

The 2014 girls soccer teams (JV and Varsity) both got off to stellar starts.

Beginning the season, the JV started by tying Lakewood 1-1 then fell to Ferndale 2-1.  The roared back to defeat Lynnwood 3-1 then crushed Stanwood last night 5-2.

In that game, Stanwood got on the board first with a ball that gently rolled between the keeper's feet and into the goal - very much a fluke.

The Wildcats came back with two quick goals off the foot of Gillian Crossley.  Malia Hansen and Jenna Cooley added a goal apiece to make it 4-1 at the half.

In the second half, both teams pulled girls to suit up for the varsity game, so scoring was reduced.  Cooley kicked in her 2nd goal of the night and Stanwood put one through to make the final 5-2.

The varsity team in the first 3 games had been lighting up the scoreboard.  The came into Thursday's match undefeated, beating Lakewood 6-1, Ferndale 3-0 and Lynnwood 3-0.

Thursday night, however, the girls could not ignite the scoring spark, despite numerous attempts on the Stanwood goal.  Much credit goes to the stellar net work of Stanwood's freshman keeper, who recorded a shutout.

Stanwood was able to score a goal in each half to win 2-0.

The next home game for the girls in September 23rd vs Getchell, then a special Saturday game.  Anacortes comes to town on Sep 27th with JV kicking off at noon and varsity at 2pm.
