Girls Win Tough Battle Despite Injuries

The girls soccer team has suffered some major injuries in the last few games. When they took the field at Pilgrim Academy on Tuesday they were without defenders Grace Delonis and Juliet Pollock and completely without substitues. Missy Civile started her second game in goal due to injuries to the regular goalie, Kayla Jenny. The team pulled together and everyone gave 100%. The hard work paid off, and Angelina Lieze and Megan Lutes were both able to score on assists by Christy Lamastra. Late in the second half, Christy suffered a knee sprain on a collision with a defender and was unable to play the last 7 minutes. The eagles continued to battle hard playing 10 v 11 and maintained the lead. The speed and hustle of defender Subrina Burrell was key in the victory. All were relieved when the final whistle blew with ACA on top 2-1.
