On Monday, September 13th the girls traveled to Homewood-Flossmoor's stadium for the first time this season. The girls fought bravely in the first half of the game. Sophomores Emily Scaletta and Lauren Huber moved the ball well the entire game. After making some excellent transitions, junior captain Julia Balmos carried the ball effortlessly into the circle. Despite the excessive hacking from the Ho-Flo's defense, Balmos remained determined and scored by placing the ball perfectly to the left side of the cage. The girls won the game, 1-0.
On Tuesday, September 14th the girls played Glenbrook South at home. The Pats flexed their muscles early when sophomore Katie Perlman scored within the first ten minutes of the game. Glenbrook then answered back with two quick goals. Things started to get very competitive after Glenbrook scored. Junior Eva Allibone entered the game at the second half and took advantage of Glenbrook's tiring defense. She tied the game up after an outstanding breakaway. But it was clear that Allibone was still hungry for more. As the game neared the end, Allibone scored the winning goal. The final score was 3-2. We had multiple injuries and even our first stroke of the season. It seems that these girls just love to keep me on my toes!
On Thursday, September 16th the girls played Highland Park High School. Sophomore Katie Perlman scored early (seems to be a pattern!) after receiving a perfect pass from Lauren Huber. Huber then took advantage of an opportunity to score on a corner penalty and crushed the ball seamlessly to the back of the cage. Sophomore Amy Andes also scored using her reverse stick in the second half with the help of Stephanie Miljkovic and Miljkovic had a goal of her own (the first one of her career) later in the game. The girls won, 4-0.
