“It felt really good to have scored that goal and the moments leading up to it were so intense,” Steele said. “It was the first goal of the game and it felt good to get ahead so early in the game.”

The team went on to score 2 more goals against Santa Clara and only letting in one. The determination of the team and desire to win showed throughout both halves as the intensity never decreased.

“I was not able to play in this game however I did watch the whole time. It was so fun to see everyone trying their best and putting in their all for our first home game,” junior Claire Cho said.
