Qride in Excellence The IV Girls' Soccer team set out with a goal in mind, to place in the top three in the Sierra League. And with a new coach and a brand new team entering a new league, things were go- ing to be harder, according to. The IV girls had a lot more games than expected. They were invited to play in the Montclair tournament in which they took third place. For a new team and a new coach, I believe we're doing very well, said freshman Karen Iohnson. Our team's strong point is that we work together as a unit, said coach Tricia McCarthy. The girls didn't have much time to practice. As soon as they had tryouts, they chose the girls that qualified for the team. The girls had less than two weeks before their first game. The girls did fairly well in their pre season games. According to McCarthy the won their first game against Bisffop Amat. Tracy Anderson, freshman said, I Q 1410 REM was surprised we won our first gameg we had so very little time to practice. The girls had very little time to themselves during Christmas vacation with the Montclair tour- nament and long, hard practices everyday. The girls won all of their games duringlthe tournament ex- cept one, leaving t em in third place. Sophomore Roxanne Caplinger said, The tournament was fun, and I thought we could have done a lot bet- ter, exce t the other teams looked as if they hadpbeen playing for a very long time. I stress team work and that concept helped all the girls ossess a wealth of talent and they really love the game, said McCarthy. Our assistant coach Michelle Padilla was also a big hel to us when we needed her, she was tgiere for us, freshman Stacy Mendez. The IV girls were taught a lot by Mc- Carthy and Padilla. One advantage that they were taught was an offsiders tra , which few, if any other IV teams in fhe league had. f'We have a lot of fun and we win in the process, McCarthy concluded. S? OUT IN FRONT - of everyone else is freshman Pam Darrow. Darrow played sweeper on the defensive team 110 Sports!IV Girls' Soccer
