GVS looks to bounce back in October
Always a formidable opponent, Tabor Academy jumped out to an early lead in the first minutes of the match. While Andover controlled the ball well and created numerous dangerous chances, they were unable to find the back of the net in the first forty minutes of play.
In the second half of play, GVS persisted and their persistence paid off when outside back Kate McCool corner kick found sophomore Emily Mara in the box for the score. Unfortunately, Tabor pounced on two quick goals in the final minutes of play to keep the game of our reach.
Senior back Kate McCool earned Player of the Game for her composure, inspiration and positivity throughout the hotly contested game. Earning her first GVS start was 9th grader Lola Aguirre in the midfield. A shout out to the leadership of captains Kelly Bu and Emma Robinson.
Thanks to our family and friends who always show up in support. We were particularly thrilled to see the parents of ninth grader Emily Decker who travelled safely from Charleston SC as Hurricane Ian moves through their state. We also were delighted to celebrate the 15th birthday of teammate Lola! A big week ahead with three games in six days.
