As the middle of the season approaches, the girls are still struggling to keep up with the intensity of the upper league with a 0-5 record. Nevertheless, members remain optimistic.

Junior Sarah Daoudi said that she is proud of the team’s overall improvement over the past season, and that the team has an idea of what still needs to be refined.

“We don’t get back on defense fast enough,” Daoudi said. “A lot of the teams are faster than us and have better reflexes on counter attacks, so if we could get back on defense sooner I don’t think they would be able to score as many goals.”

Coach Jerome Chung recognizes the hard work and effort that the girls are putting into practice and said that games will eventually become more evenly matched.

“Things just aren’t going our way,” Chung said. “But things will eventually break. It’s just a long process.”
