The varsity soccer team began its season on Aug. 29, with a home game against Fort Zumwalt South. The team currently has a 3-8 record.
The first game resulted in a 2-1 loss. Coach Jeff Facchin said, ” We needed to do a better job finishing the game out, but the score shows we failed to do that.”
Senior Goalie Marucs Terri said, “As a team we need to improve on not allowing physical teams to take away from how we want to play.”
Facchin said, “A loss always shows some glaring weakness in the team.”
The team bounced back the next game with a 7-0 win over Bayless.
Even with the recent win the team is looking to continue to move forward.
Facchin said that with the upcoming games of Clayton, Rockwood Summit and SLU High,the schedule continues to get harder. Both Velten and Facchin agreed the entire schedule is tough.
Terri said, “The results might not always go our way ,but it’s a great way to prepare for the playoffs in November.”
As far as the team itself, Coach Facchin said that the team holds an advantage within its two senior goalies Terri and Landon Doty.
Facchin said, “Their shot-stopping abilities and their leadership give us an edge.”
Terri specifically has taken on that role as he said, “I feel I have to keep the ball out of the net at all costs and keep the team organized since as a goalie I can see everything going on within the game.”
