It ' s A Kick! . Teamwork was the key to winning for the girls J.V. soccer team. They kicked their way to first place with an overall record of 11-0-3. Their season includ- ed 9 shut outs and only one team, Los Alamitos. was able to score more than one goal against them. Our best game was at Katella when the goalie, Gina Suseala, was switched to forward and she scored i goals. commented Debbie Pliska. This along with 4 other goals scored by her team members resulted in a 7-0 shut out. The year started off a little rough and it took a little while for the team to develop a sense of unity. It was hard in the beginning, but we quickly came together as a team in order to win, stated fresh- man Rcnee Peck. The team consisted mostly of freshmen, two of which were Chris Fauchey and Karyn Onliveros. Debbie Pliska said. Chris and Karyn were outstand- ing contributors to the team. Their energy and en- thusiasm provided a motivation for the entire team. ' V ' iStaJliMMl« i . I- Playing a great defense, Julie Cooper blocks the kick. 232 JV Soccer Renee Peck. Karyn Onliveros.
