The Vikes honored Breast Cancer awareness during their game on Wednesday, October 1, while playing against St. Francis DeSales. The attending student section and family wore pink, giving players a motivating cause that helped them “give 110% effort,” said Harper B-M. However, the beginning still started out rocky: “We had trouble connecting passes within our team. Then we stepped it up, and Sydney S. got a goal,” says Harper. Adding to this momentum, senior Allison F. completed a free kick, earning the Vikes another point. Tensions were high in the final minutes, as the team let a second goal in, resulting in a tied score. In response, freshman Sydney dribbled to the net to score a game-winning shot to secure the 3-2 triumph, leading the team in goals and gaining the title of Player of the Match.

Looking ahead on this tight success, the girls 10-3-2 record will be put through a final test next week, concluding their regular season. Beginning with a match against Hamilton Township on Monday, the team will honor its five seniors on Wednesday for Senior Night against Whitehall-Yearling.
