Soccer rebounds after rough start

“A team is many voices with a single heart” is the motto of RB girls soccer. With their first win, bringing them one and four, they showed they worked as one. With the hard fought win over Ridgewood, they made a stand to turn the season around.

Varsity soccerp layer Bridget Brewer, who scored against Ridgewood, said, “The win was definitely something the team needed. We’re back on track and looking forward to the rest of the incredible season.”

They have eleven more games of the season and plenty of time to turn things around. They have mostly away games to play and so far have only won on the road.

Senior varsity soccer player, Emily Waas said, “We had a rough start but I can tell by the commitment and motivation of our team that we will strive from now on.”

Despite the rough start, it is not just all work for the entire season, but also fun. The team will be having Soccer Palooza on April 30^th, 2011. This is open for anyone who wants to come out, watch or participate in the event. For more information about this event, visit coach Marisa Dobbertin at the Wellness Department.

Girls soccer seasons show mixed results

If you see a girls soccer player around RB, she may likely be wearing a t-shirt that reads “212 Degrees – The Extra Degree.”

The meaning behind this is from the 2010 soccer season theme, “At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train.”

The season for the girls’ soccer team has just ended. The varsity team, having an 8-9 record still has regionals coming up.

Varsity coach Marissa Dobbertin said, “Regardless of our wins and losses, the team has always remained a strong team with a ‘212’ attitude. Our number one goal is regionals. It means more to us to take home the first regional championship.”

The sophomore team, ending with 10-3-3 record, had a great season. Winning conference, the team has much to be proud of.

The freshman team had a rough season, with a record of 4-2-11. Playing some of the most difficult opponents, the team faced schools with some of the top programs in the state.
