Lady Dores Fall in Pre-Season Match

On September 10th the Lady Dores travelled to Carmel Middle to face the Padres. In the past, the Dores have dominated Carmel. It looked like MHS would once again defend their winning streak. The first half showcased amazing defense from Olivia Obanico and Jodie Nakajima. Forwards Katie Poma and Laura Weinbrenner had some great breakaways, but were unable to find the back of the net. Going into half time, the score was 0-0. The Padres were consistent, bringing the ball down the field and scoring twice in the last two minutes of the game. Final Score 0-2.

The JV team went on the field hoping to score and bring home a W for MHS. However, they were not able to penetrate the Padres defense. However, there were some great saves from freshman goalie, Taylor Mercurio, who kept the score below five. Final score 0-4.

MHS will host their first league game and first game on the new field on Friday, September 12th. Varsity will start at 3:30; JV will start at 4:45.
