After a long season of hard work, the Lady Moors’ soccer team ended with an overall record of 8-6-6 and a league record of 5-3-2. They earned second place in Almont League, which advanced them to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs.
The girls believe everyone did their part and contributed to the success of this team and are excited about making the CIF playoffs.
“I feel that for having a lot of new players from [JV] this season and only about four returning varsity members, we have come together and we have done really well,” captain Autumn Krueger said.
Going into the playoffs, the team knows that they have to play at the level they were playing at throughout the season and remain focused. The girls also believe that confidence in their own abilities and trusting each other, along with the support of everyone at AHS, are vital to the success of the team.
“We need to not break down everything that we worked for and we need to try to keep a hold of all our plays [that we learned] throughout the year. That will bring us success,” Head Coach Armondo Gutierrez said.
The team’s CIF journey ended after winning 6-0 against New Common Jewish High School and losing 0-2 against Saddleback Valley Christian High School.
