The Coronado Islanders girls varsity soccer team won both of their games this past week. On Tuesday the 19th, Coronado beat Hilltop 1-0 and on Thursday the 21st they shut out Olympian 4-0. Sophomore Ella Oden scored the goal on Tuesday and one of the four on Thursday. Sophomore Riley McGrath added two points and junior Julia Hinz also scored.
It was a tough week of practice due to the rainstorm and other sports’ practice time. On Tuesday, the team had two full practices before the game. On Thursday the team portrayed a considerable improvement in how they performed. Riley shared, “the atmosphere changed because we got a stronger sense of how we all play individually. We were able to adapt and play better as a team.” She continued, “I’m really excited for this season! To play with such talented, hardworking girls makes the game so much fun! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this team as the season goes on.”
The next game is at home on Tuesday, December 3 @5:30 vs. La Costa Canyon High School
