GVS falls short in spite of strong 2nd half effort
On yet another beautiful fall afternoon on Smoyer Field, GVS faced a top Class A opponent in Worcester Academy. Unfortunately, the Big Blue found themselves down 1-0 after a counter attack by WA in the first five minutes of the match. While creating a number of chances in the first half, GVS could not find settle in to the game and found themselves behind, 0-3 at the half.
GVS regrouped and reset goals at the break and had a much stronger final forty minutes of play. While we had scoring chances, we were not able to find the back of the net.
A highlight of the day was the play of newcomer Lola Aguirre '26 who stepped into the midfield late in the first half and then played the full forty in the second half. Lola's notable performance earned her Player of the Game.
Thank you to Caroline Averill's family for providing delicious snacks at game end...and a fun fact, Caroline's mom Ali once starred for GVS for a full-circle moment. Next up, Tabor Academy this Saturday.
