With one of Garretson’s best starts in their soccer history, they keep gaining more confidence after every game. With this Tuesday’s tie against number one ranked Sioux Falls Christian, the Lady Dragons are now ranked third in the Class A with a 2-1-2 record. The soccer team’s only loss this year comes to the number two ranked Tea Titans in a 2 -0 match. Senior Rachel Kindt says the team wasn’t satisfied with the outcome of the game, but they were very proud of their effort.
“With a very experienced team of six seniors,” Damman stated, “I was proud of myself because I tied the game to help my team. It was a great feeling!”
With all of the seniors on the team this year, the ladies are hoping to give this year a whirl at their shot for that precious gold medal. “We only plan to get better from here and we are very excited to see what the rest of the season brings,” said Rachel Kindt.
The seniors have a really positive attitude coming into practice and that keeps the en- ergy up. They are very willing to help the younger girls out, gel as a team, and their success is a complete all around team effort.
The newly crowned head coach Amber Williamson is thought of greatly by the girls, as she sees the team’s true potential and pushes them to their best ability. The girls have had a blast with her and new assistant Coach Kueter this year.
