Although expected to be a rebuilding year, the girl's soccer team surpassed all expectations when they finished out the season with a 9-6-1 overall score and a 7-5 score in the district. The year's MVP was Stasia Strobach and Most Improved was Marie Noonan. Stasia Strobach made the first team All-District and four other girls made the second team All-District. The team had some close games, especially against Kempsville and Western Branch. The first Kempsville game was won by the team, 2-1 , in overtime. In the next Kempsville game the team won in the last minutes of the second overtime. The game against Western Branch was a challenge for the team and at a tied score we kept our cool and got the goal in the last sixty seconds, said Coach Cosimano. The weather changes did not hamper afternoon practices and the team worked out in rain, snow, and sun. lt wasn't easy but we were prepared to play in it. It didn't make us any better playing wise but psychologically we were better, quipped Coach Cosimano. One drill the team will not forget is having to perform diving headers over a large mud puddle. Everyone took a tu rn and in the end it got to be fun, said Coach Cosimano. Unique uniforms were created to keep the cold away. The girls resorted to wearing muffs, hoods, long johns, and sweats in different combinations to keep warm during their hard practice sessions. By the end of the year, the team had become a well working machine. 0 Maury 1 Norfolk Academy 1 First Colonial 0 Kellam 1 Kempsville 1 Cox 4 Bayside 2 Princess Anne 2 First Colonial 5 Great Bridge 0 Kellam 4 Cox 2 Western Branch 0 Princess Anne 6 Bayside 2 Kempsville 0 Norfolk Academy Q sw- Aa., -N 5..- 1 -'s-an .. ,Jn Jim 8 1 O 1 0 0 O 3 3 O 1 0 O 5 0 1 3 Sports 'I 89

It was a growing season, said Mrs. Cindy Edwards as she faced a new challenge in coaching. The team's experiences had a radical impact on Mrs. Edward's views on coaching. The year was very difficult at times but overall, accomplishments will probably be seen the spring of '88 according to Coach Edwards. Con- frontations of each new opponent increased the unity of the team. Great expectations are expected for the next season. We worked hard considering we had a new coach and a lot of the previous players left last year. Everyone on this year's team will be returning so we expect to have a good season, said team player Mickey Meekins. The team was young and growing. The potential was there and by the class of '88 we will have great respect and a good reputation, quipped james Occulto, one of the team's players.
