This soccer season turned out to be more promising than expected. With one lunior, eighteen Sophmores, and four Freshman. lt was a bigger turn out than expected. With this many players Coach Purcell anticipated a very successful year. The success may not have shown in our record, but it sure showed in our team itself. We worked together, therefore we felt a great feeling of togetherness at the end of each game. Of course we couldn't have done it without our Captains, Becky Reimer and Amy Lee, and our scorers, Erin McLane and Ti Nugyevn. This year has showen all of us how to work as a team and benefit from each others skills and knowledge, A IOB WELL DONE!
