GVS battles back in high-scoring contest
Traveling to Choate on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, GVS found itself down early after a fast start versus the Wild Boars. With under ten minutes to play in the first half, captain Lulu Rourke sent a fantastic ball to Soph Dandawa '25 who scored her first GVS career goal. Minutes later, Wylie Roossien '26 got taken down inside the box and demonstrated great composure at the PK mark. GVS headed into the half down 2-4 but feeling momentum building.
The second half of play proofed exciting as Choate extended the lead, 5-2 and found GVS respond with two goals in four minutes - one off a corner kick by captain Emma Robinson and Roossien struck again with a fantastic ball into the box by speedy Emily Mara '25. Shout out to seniors Abby Heppelmann (GK), Kate McCool, Myranda Lu, Kelly Bu, Robinson and Rourke who provided constant encouragement and inspiration with their play and attitudes. Lulu Rourke was named P.O.G.
Thank you to our parents and family members who traveling to CT and a special shout out to former GVS teammate Marie-Eve Marleau '22 who made a surprise visit on the sideline. The team looks forward to two home games this week including Family Weekend under the lights!
