GVS Seniors Lead the way on Senior Night
As always, the match-up versus Class B power Lawrence Academy did not disappoint. Tonight was an opportunity to play for and be inspired by our seven GVS seniors: Yssie, Lulu, Emma, Abby, KBu, Myranda and Kate.
Fueled by an incredible crowd of fan and friends, GVS played its best eighty minutes of the season creating lots offensive pressure and opportunities while halting a dynamic Lawrence offense as well. The two teams entered the half locked at 0-0.
Midway through the second half, Lawrence found its way to the scoreboard with a blast to the side netting. GVS doubled down its efforts pushing forward and was rewarded with a PK that captain Kelly "KBu" Bu converted with confidence. The final score stood at 1-1.
Special shout-out to senior GK Abby Heppelmann who earned her third start of the season and constantly inspires with her relentless work ethic and positive attitude. The senior back-line of Kate McCool, Yssie Yargas, Kelly Bu and Myranda Lu demonstrated incredible composure and teamwork as they kept a dangerous Lawrence offensive wave consistently at bay forcing shots well outside the 18. Midfielders Lulu Rourke and Emma Robinson work tirelessly box to box to win balls back and go-forward. Together these senior years were the reasons we shined tonight. Here's to Kate McCool who was named Player of the Game.
This night would not have happened without the support of our families. Thank you to all the parents who made it as special as can be and as always a special shout-out to Noureddine and Amy Wiggins for their endless support on the sidelines and behind the scenes.
We cannot wait for the week ahead our our final game at home v. Exeter at 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 12. #whateverittakes
