Friendly Kick-Off; District Opener Next Week

With the district opener next week on Thursday at home against Bishop Dunne, the Lady Vikings have scheduled a couple friendlies starting last night.  The Lady Vikings took on a couple local teams on their practice night.  The JV kicked off the evening, followed by the varsity.

"We needed this night for sure, especially the JV with so many new players; I have to say that as the JV friendly went on they really started to figure it out," commented varsity head coach, Jay Fitzgerald.

The JV kick off their first game against Ursuline on November 6th with the varsity opening district play on November 2nd and have another friendly set for next Monday vs Grapevine Faith at home.

With a pair of goals last night, the varsity got a solid win as Maddie Caffey got on the board early in the second half with a perfectly placed free kick off the top corner and freshman, Abby Geiser added the nights second goal as she stormed past the backline and finished off what was a run that started at goal from about 60 yards away.

Head Coach, Jay Fitzgerald on October...
We have seen so much progress this month and it was good to see tons of bright spots with both teams last night in a game where we can kick someone else for a change.

Senior Forward, Mikaela Gamboa on the night...
We were a little bit unsure on how to play and shaky but we got it down and it worked like magic.
