Last Game of the Season

October 23, 2008
The girls took the field for the last game of the season hoping to accomplish an undefeated season, with only 9 starters due to starting sweeper Sabrina Burrell being out with a stomach virus. Dominique Lieze and Allison joined in so the girls wouldn't be out numbered but again the eagles had no subs. Megan Lutes scored on an assist by Julia Marshall and ACA took the lead. Pilgrim Academy later tied it up and took the lead in the middle of the second half. This was the first time all season the girls were losing a game. The girls battled on but were unable to regain the lead. Although they were disappointed to give up the undefeated season, their hard work and determination in the midst of setback after setback is to be commended. Great season girls!!!!
