FEB 26-MARCH 2

Girls soccer win advances team to championship

The Performance of the Week for the week of February, 26 is the varsity girls soccer team beating the Rocklin Thunder 1-0 in the Division II section semifinal. This kept their undefeated streak against the Thunder this season, as going into this game, the teams had only played once in preseason, where the Tigers came out with a successful victory. This was due to the goal from the Tigers’ leading scorer Mackenzie Gill scoring the goal in the last 10 minutes of the match. The victory meant they would move onto the section championship.

Junior Kylie Granno was excited to make it to the championship game and hoped that they could stay strong.

“After the Rocklin game we had a lot of confidence going into the finals,” Granno said. “We knew Rocklin was a strong team going in and the fact that we beat them proved we were a good team.”

Later, the team fell to the River City Raiders in the finals in a competitive 1-0 loss. However, they still qualified for regionals, in which they lost to the Livermore High School Cowboys in another competitive game.
