A FRESH START As Q drop of sweat trickled down her forehead, she wiped it off with her musculor arm. After removing her gray warm-ups, she practiced her kicking, pass- ing ond other boil control routines. Every member of the girls ' soccer team endured the some doily workout routines, during which they sweat it all out. According to the players, the team im- proved tremendously with a new cooch. We hod o cooch that worked us harder and we improved on boll control and poss- ing, Karen Kelley said about Coach Sylvio Ortiz. The team placed second in district with a 9-4-2 record As the seoson progressed, the team im- proved on individual skills as well as basic teom skills. With ten freshmen, the teom ' s inexperience was a factor. But, a talented freshman class and excellent leadership from the seniors helped form o winning combination According to Ortiz, their strategy con- sisted of effective running, basic defense ond pressure on the opponent. Ortiz also emphasized passing the boll to fellow teammates and to keep the gome flowing. Before each game, Ortiz gave the team a pep talk to advise them about team work and gome strategy. I told them to go out, stick to the gome, plan to keep on the pressure ond also to remember to score, Ortiz sold. No matter how much pep talk they hod, the players occasionally encountered dif- ficulties. For instance, llene Kloch broke her arm or the beginning of the seoson and never recuperated for the season. Jennifer Goodwin had to reploce her os goalie. Along with the physical pains of ploying come the mental frustrations, it wos frustrating to lose to Northbrook by one point, Laura Sylvo said. Making the bi-district playoffs did help overcome any difficulties, but hopes were dashed when the team lo st 9-0 to Klein Oak. Despite the demanding proctices and some frustrations, Ortiz termed the season successful ond exciting.
