Middle School Girls Soccer Season Begins in the Cold!

It's technically the spring season, and our Middle School Girls Soccer team has already endured hail, snow, freezing rain and a tornado. As a result, the team has only had three practices - but that did not stop them from giving their absolute all on the pitch yesterday in front of an enthusiastic crowd!
 
The thermometer read 36 degrees when the game began, and the Badgers went right to work. April, Freya and Francesca protected the box against a very solid CCS attack, and constantly tackled the ball away from the opposition. They forced the ball out of the middle, and worked in concert with Emma, who had twelve impressive saves on the day!
At the mid-field position, Retta competed for every ball that came her way - pushing the ball up the field to Clara, who set up Willa and Sunrise on the attack. On the right side, it was the Juno and Zoey connection, also setting up Nora as Tandem approached the CCS goal.
 
The Badgers improved throughout the game - allowing only two goals in the second half - and played hard for all sixty minutes despite the tricky conditions and a few missing players!
