The season started with a big win over Everett High at home, a 3-2 game that was saved in the last seconds by freshman goalkeeper Sofia Leno. “Sofia has done a very good job with the goalkeeping position, considering her age and experience,” Coach Caceda said. “She has helped us compete in nearly every game so far.” Coach Caceda said he is pleased with the effort and leadership being shown by his returning players, particularly the captains, junior Amelia Berliner and senior Brenda Darisse, and the other seniors playing their final season: Mercedes Costa Aispuro, Thalyta Andrade and Maria Couto Martins. Other Varsity team members are juniors Imane Agoumad, Meriam Bouchtout, Ava Lacasse, Maya Pedraze-Alexander, Nyla Pierre and Sofia Vargas; sophomores Briana Darisse and Wiam Saadiouni and freshmen Sofia Leno, the starting goalkeeper, and Gabrielle “Gabby” Sanchez Martinez.
