The Performance of the Week for the week of Jan. 9-15 was the varsity girls soccer team’s 1-0 triumph against the Whitney Wildcats which extended their overall record, at the time, to 6-1-1.

The Wildcats have not lost another league game this season and sit in first place with the Tigers, who hold the tiebreaker in the case of a tie in league rank, close behind in second place.

The tiebreaker factor is another reason why the win is such an important one in the girls’ season so far.

During the game the Tigers made the decision to place a priority on marking the Wildcats’ center midfielders man-to-man style with their own center midfielders.

This enabled sophomore forward Mackenzie Gill to break through the Wildcat defense for the game-winning goal.
